Psalms 12:5-8 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

5. “Because of the oppression of the afflictedand the groaning of the poor,I will now rise up,” says the Lord.“I will put the one who longs for it in a safe place.”

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

7. You, Lord, will guard us; You will protect us from this generation forever.

8. The wicked wander everywhere,and what is worthless is exalted by the human race.
