New Century Version

Psalms 12:5-8 New Century Version (NCV)

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.

8. But the wicked are all around us;everyone loves what is wrong.
