Psalm 12:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶The Lord’s ·words [or promises] are ·pure [flawless],
like silver ·purified [refined] ·by fire [or in a furnace],
·purified [refined] seven times over [18:30; 119:140].

⁷Lord, you will ·keep us safe [^Lguard/protect them];
you will always ·protect [guard] us from such ·people [a generation].
⁸But the wicked ·are [^Lwalk] all around us;
·everyone loves what is wrong [^Lwhat is vile is lifted up among the sons of man/humanity].
