Psalm 12:5

“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”
In context
3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that boasts,
4 who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?”
5 “Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”
6 The LORD’s words are flawless words, as silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
7 You will keep them, LORD. You will preserve them from this generation forever.
