Psalm 12:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Which have said, [a]With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us?
5 [b]Now for the oppression of the needy, and for the sighs of the poor, I will up, saith the Lord, and will [c]set at liberty him, whom the wicked hath [snared].
6 The words of the Lord are pure words, as the silver, tried in a furnace of earth, fined sevenfold.
