4 They say to themselves,“We are great speakers.No one else has a chance.”
5 But you, Lord, tell them,“I will do something!The poor are ill-treatedand helpless people moan.I'll rescue all who suffer.”
6 Our Lord, you are trueto your promises,and your word is like silverheated seven timesin a fiery furnace.
7 You will protect usand always keep us safefrom those people.
8 But all who are wickedwill keep on strutting,while everyone praisestheir shameless deeds.
