Psalm 12:4-6
Christian Standard Bible
4 They say, “Through our tongues we have power;
our lips are our own—who can be our master?” (A)
5 “Because of the devastation of the needy
and the groaning of the poor,
I will now rise up,” says the Lord.
“I will provide safety for the one who longs for it.”(B)
6 The words of the Lord are pure words,
like silver refined in an earthen furnace,
purified seven times.(C)
Psalm 12:4-6
New International Version
4 those who say,
“By our tongues we will prevail;(A)
our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”
