Psalms 12:4-8 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

4. They say, “Our tongues will help us win.We can say what we wish. No one is our master.”

5. But the Lord says,“I will now rise upbecause the poor are being hurt.Because of the moans of the helpless,I will give them the help they want.”

6. The Lord’s words are pure.They are like silver purified by fire,like silver purified seven times over.

7. Lord, keep us safe.Always protect us from such people.

8. The wicked are all around us.Everyone loves what is wrong.
