Psalm 12:5-7

American Standard Version

⁵Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy,
Now will I arise, saith Jehovah;
I will set him in the safety he panteth for.
⁶The words of Jehovah are pure words;
As silver tried in a furnace on the earth,
Purified seven times.
⁷Thou wilt keep them, O Jehovah,
Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.
