Psalms 12:3-7

³The smooth lips and the tongue of pride will be cut off by the Lord.

⁴They have said, With our tongues will we overcome; our lips are ours: who is lord over us?

⁵Because of the crushing of the poor and the weeping of those in need, now will I come to his help, says the Lord; I will give him the salvation which he is desiring.

⁶The words of the Lord are true words: like silver tested by fire and burned clean seven times.

⁷You will keep them, O Lord, you will keep them safe from this generation for ever.
