Psalm 12:5-7

New Century Version

⁵ But the Lord says,
“I will now rise up,
    because the poor are being hurt.
Because of the moans of the helpless,
    I will give them the help they want.”
⁶ The Lord’s words are pure,
    like silver purified by fire,
    like silver purified seven times over.

⁷ Lord, you will keep us safe;
    you will always protect us from such people.
