Psalm 12:4-6

Revised Standard Version

⁴those who say, “With our tongue we will prevail,
our lips are with us; who is our master?”

⁵“Because the poor are despoiled, because the needy groan,
    I will now arise,” says the Lord;
    “I will place him in the safety for which he longs.”
⁶The promises of the Lord are promises that are pure,
    silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
    purified seven times.
