Psalms 12:4-6

NLT

NIV

4 They say, “We will lie to our hearts’ content. Our lips are our own—who can stop us?”
4 those who say, “By our tongues we will prevail; our own lips will defend us—who is lord over us?”
5 The LORD replies, “I have seen violence done to the helpless, and I have heard the groans of the poor. Now I will rise up to rescue them, as they have longed for me to do.”
5 “Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will protect them from those who malign them.”
6 The LORD ’s promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over.
6 And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver purified in a crucible, like gold refined seven times.
