Psalm 12:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,
the tongue that makes great boasts,(A)
4 those who say, “With our tongues we will prevail;
our lips are our own—who is our master?”
5 “Because the poor are despoiled, because the needy groan,
I will now rise up,” says the Lord;
“I will place them in the safety for which they long.”(B)
