4 May the Lord scatter all deceitful lips,along with the tongue that speaks malice.
5 They have said: 'We will magnify our tongue;our lips belong to us. What is Lord to us?'
6 Because of the misery of the destitute and the groaning of the poor,now I will arise, says the Lord.I will place him in safety. I will act faithfully toward him.
7 The eloquence of the Lord is pure eloquence,silver tested by fire, purged from the earth, refined seven times.
8 You, O Lord, will preserve us, and you will guard us from this generation into eternity.
