Psalm 12:3-5

The Voice

³ May the Eternal silence all sweet-talking lips,
    stop all boasting tongues,
⁴ Of those who say, “With our words we will win;
    our lips are our own. Who is the master of our souls?”

⁵ “I will rise up,” says the Eternal,
    “because the poor are being trampled, and the needy groan for My saving help.
    I will lift them up to the safety they long for.”
