Psalms 12:3-5 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

3. Silence those flattering tongues, O Lord!Close those boastful mouths that say,

4. “With our words we get what we want.We will say what we wish,and no one can stop us.”

5. “But now I will come,” says the Lord,“because the needy are oppressedand the persecuted groan in pain.I will give them the security they long for.”
