You, YHWH, will keep us safe and protect us always from this generation -
Where corrupt people strut proudly around,

“We can talk our way out of anything!
We know just how to twist our words,
so that no one can challenge us.”
“Because they oppress the helpless,
because poor people sigh and moan,
now I will rise up!” says YHWH.
