2 All people speak foolishly. They speak with flattering lips. They say one thing but mean another. 3 May the LORD cut off every flattering lip and every bragging tongue 4 that has said, |We will overcome with our tongues. With lips such as ours, who can be our master?| 5 |Because oppressed people are robbed and needy people groan, I will now arise,| says the LORD. |I will provide safety for those who long for it.| 6 The promises of the LORD are pure, like silver refined in a furnace and purified seven times. 7 O LORD, you will protect them. You will keep each one safe from those people forever. 8 Wicked people parade around when immorality increases among Adam's descendants. Psalms 12:2-8, God's Word Translation.
