3 Que o SENHOR corte a todos os lábios que falam falsos elogios, [e toda] língua que fala grandes [mentiras] .

4 Pois dizem: Com nossa língua prevaleceremos; nossos lábios [são] nossos; que é senhor sobre nós?

5 O SENHOR diz: Pela opressão aos humildes, pelo gemido dos necessitados, eu agora me levantarei; porei em segurança àquele a quem ele sopra [desejando oprimir] .

6 As palavras do SENHOR são palavras puras, [como] prata refinada em forno de barro, purificada sete vezes.

7 Tu, SENHOR, os guardarás; desta geração os livrarás para sempre.
