Psalm 12:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ The Lord will stop those lying lips.
    He will cut off those bragging tongues.
⁴ They say, “Our tongues will help us win.
    We can say what we wish. No one is our master.”

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.”
