Psalm 12:3-5

New International Version - UK

³ May the Lord silence all flattering lips
    and every boastful tongue –
⁴ those who say,
    ‘By our tongues we will prevail;
    our own lips will defend us – who is lord over us?’

⁵ ‘Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan,
    I will now arise,’ says the Lord.
    ‘I will protect them from those who malign them.’
