Psalm 12:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 [a]Now for the oppression of the needy, and for the sighs of the poor, I will up, saith the Lord, and will [b]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.
7 Thou wilt keep [c]them, O Lord; thou wilt preserve him from this generation forever.
