The (A)words of Yahweh are pure words;
As silver (B)tried in a furnace on the ground, refined seven times.
You, O Yahweh, will keep them;
You will (C)guard him from this generation forever.
The (D)wicked strut about on every side
When [a](E)vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

  1. Psalm 12:8 Or worthlessness

And the words of the Lord are flawless,(A)
    like silver purified(B) in a crucible,(C)
    like gold[a] refined seven times.

You, Lord, will keep the needy safe(D)
    and will protect us forever from the wicked,(E)
who freely strut(F) about
    when what is vile is honored by the human race.
