Psalms 12:5-7

5 “Because ^athe poor are plundered, because the needy groan,
^bI will now arise,” says the Lord;
“I will place him in the ^csafety for which he longs.”
6 ^dThe words of the Lord are pure words,
like silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.
7 You, O Lord, will keep them;
you will guard us ^{▼▼Or guard him} from this generation forever.
