The Lord’s words are pure.
    They are like silver purified by fire,
    like silver purified seven times over.

Lord, keep us safe.
    Always protect us from such people.
The wicked are all around us.
    Everyone loves what is wrong.

And the words of the Lord are flawless,(A)
    like silver purified(B) in a crucible,(C)

    and will protect us forever from the wicked,(E)
who freely strut(F) about
    when what is vile is honored by the human race.
