Psalms 12:4-7

⁴Who said, 'By our tongue we do mightily: Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?'

⁵Because of the spoiling of the poor, Because of the groaning of the needy, Now do I arise, saith Jehovah, I set in safety him who doth breathe for it.

⁶Sayings of Jehovah are pure sayings; Silver tried in a furnace of earth refined sevenfold.

⁷Thou, O Jehovah, dost preserve them, Thou keepest us from this generation to the age.
