Psalm 12:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵ But the Lord says:
    ‘Now I will do something!
I know the cruel things that wicked people do to poor people.
When weak people cry with pain, I hear them.
So I will make them safe,
    as they want me to do for them.’
⁶ The Lord's promises are true.
We can trust them,
    because they are pure.
They are as pure as silver
    that people have put in a hot fire seven times.^[a]
7 Yes Lord, you will take care of the poor people.
You will always keep each one of them safe
    from all those evil people.
