Psalm 12:3-5

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³ May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,
    the tongue that makes great boasts,
⁴ those who say, ‘With our tongues we will prevail;
    our lips are our own—who is our master?’

⁵ ‘Because the poor are despoiled, because the needy groan,
    I will now rise up,’ says the Lord;
    ‘I will place them in the safety for which they long.’
