Psalm 12:5
“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.”
For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the Lord; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
Note puffeth…: or, would ensnare him
“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.”
Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; I will set him in the safety he panteth for.
