Psalms 12:5-8 Common English Bible (CEB)

5. But the Lord says,"Because the poor are oppressed,because of the groans of the needy,I’m now standing up.I will provide the help they are gasping for."

6. The Lord’s promises are pure,like silver that’s been refined in an oven,purified seven times over!

7. You, Lord, will keep us,protecting us from this generation forever.

8. The wicked roam all over the place,while depravity is praised by human beings.
