Psalm 12:5-7

Amplified Bible

⁵
“Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy,
Now I will arise,” says the Lord; “I will place him in the safety for which he longs.”

⁶
The words and promises of the Lord are pure words,
Like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times.
⁷
You, O Lord, will preserve and keep them;
You will protect him from this [evil] generation forever.
