Psalm 12:7
New Catholic Bible
7 And the promises of the Lord are certain;
they are like silver refined in a furnace
and purified seven times.[a]
Footnotes
- Psalm 12:7 Purified seven times: the number seven signified fullness or completeness; hence the phrase means “refined through and through.” The words of the Lord are absolutely pure and true (see Pss 18:31; 19:8; Prov 30:5).
