Psalm 12:5-7
Contemporary English Version
5 But you, Lord, tell them,
“I will do something!
The poor are mistreated
and helpless people moan.
I'll rescue all who suffer.”
6 Our Lord, you are true
to your promises,
and your word is like silver
heated seven times
in a fiery furnace.[a]
7 You will protect us
and always keep us safe
from those people.
