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.
