Psalms 12:7
You, O LORD, will keep us; You will forever guard us from this generation.
BSB
ASV
Thou wilt keep them, O Jehovah, Thou wilt preserve them from this generation for ever.
KJV
Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
In the worst of times God has his remnant, and in every age will reserve to himself a holy seed and preserve that to his heavenly kingdom. In singing this psalm, and praying it over, we must bewail the general corruption of manners, thank God that things are not worse than they are, but pray and hope that they will be better in God's due time.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
