Yahweh’s words are flawless words,
    as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
You will keep them, Yahweh.
    You will preserve them from this generation forever.
The wicked walk on every side,
    when what is vile is exalted among the sons of men.

And the words of the Lord are flawless,(A)
    like silver purified(B) in a crucible,(C)

You, Lord, will keep the needy safe(D)
    and will protect us forever from the wicked,(E)
who freely strut(F) about
    when what is vile is honored by the human race.
