Psalm 12:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵Now will I arise, says the Lord, because the poor are oppressed, because of the groans of the needy; I will set him in safety and in the salvation for which he pants.

⁶The words and promises of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times over.

⁷You will keep them and preserve them, O Lord; You will guard and keep us from this [evil] generation forever.
