Psalms 12:4


Psalms 12:3 Psalms 12:4 (KJV) Psalms 12:5
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, [and] the tongue that speaketh proud things:
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips [are] our own: who [is] lord over us?
For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set [him] in safety [from him that] puffeth at him.
