Psalm 12:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ Lord, please shut their mouths!
When they deceive people or they boast,
    stop them doing that!
⁴ They say:
‘Nobody can tell us what to do!
    We will say what we like to get what we want!’
⁵ But the Lord says:
    ‘Now I will do something!
I know the cruel things that wicked people do to poor people.
When weak people cry with pain, I hear them.
So I will make them safe,
    as they want me to do for them.’
