New Century Version

Psalms 12:3-7 New Century Version (NCV)

3. The Lord will stop those flattering lipsand cut off those bragging tongues.

4. They say, “Our tongues will help us win.We can say what we wish; no one is our master.”

5. But the Lord says,“I will now rise up,because the poor are being hurt.Because of the moans of the helpless,I will give them the help they want.”

6. The Lord’s words are pure,like silver purified by fire,like silver purified seven times over.

7. Lord, you will keep us safe;you will always protect us from such people.
