⁶ And the words of the Lord are flawless,^(A)
    like silver purified^(B) in a crucible,^(C)
    like gold^[a] refined seven times.

⁷ You, Lord, will keep the needy safe^(D)
    and will protect us forever from the wicked,^(E)
8 who freely strut^(F) about
    when what is vile is honored by the human race.
