4. They say, "We will win the battle with our tongues. Our lips belong to us. No one else is in charge of us."
5. The Lord says, "The weak are beaten down. Those who are in need groan. So I will stand up to help them. I will keep them safe from those who tell lies about them."
6. The words of the Lord are perfect. They are like silver made pure in a clay furnace. They are like silver made pure seven times over.
7. Lord, you will keep us safe. You will always keep sinners from hurting us.
