Psalm 12:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ But the Lord says,
    “I will now rise up,
    because the ·poor [weak] are ·being hurt [destroyed; plundered; oppressed].
Because of the ·moans [groans; sighs] of the ·helpless [needy],
    I will give them the ·help [victory] they ·want [long for].”
⁶ The Lord’s ·words [or promises] are ·pure [flawless],
    like silver ·purified [refined] ·by fire [or in a furnace],
·purified [refined] seven times over [18:30; 119:140].

⁷ Lord, you will ·keep us safe [^Lguard/protect them];
    you will always ·protect [guard] us from such ·people [a generation].
