Psalms 12:3-7 Modern English Version (MEV)

3. The Lord will cut off all flattering lips,and the tongue that speaks proud things,

4. who have said, “With our tongue will we prevail;our lips are in our control, who is master over us?”

5. “Because the poor are plundered,because the needy sigh,now I will arise,” says the Lord;“I will place him in the safety for which he yearns.”

6. The words of the Lord are pure words;they are silver tried in an earthen furnacerefined seven times.

7. You will keep them, O Lord;You will preserve them from this generation.
