Psalms 12:7

⁵ “For the cause of the oppressed and for the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will bring safety to him who yearns.”

⁶ The words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace, like gold purified sevenfold.

You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation.

⁸ The wicked wander freely, and vileness is exalted among men.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
