Psalms 12:4-7

⁴(12-5) Who have said: 'Our tongue will we make mighty; our lips are with us: who is lord over us?'

⁵(12-6) 'For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise', saith the LORD; 'I will set him in safety at whom they puff.'

⁶(12-7) The words of the LORD are pure words, as silver tried in a crucible on the earth, refined seven times.

⁷(12-8) Thou wilt keep them, O LORD; Thou wilt preserve us from this generation for ever.
