A musical adaptation of Psalm 12 that moves from lament over a world full of flattery and boasting to the declaration that God’s words are “absolutely reliable” — as pure as silver refined in a furnace. The arrangement opens with a taut cello drone before gentle vocals enter over sorrowful cello and acoustic guitar, building to a thunderous full-band chorus.
“The Lord’s words are absolutely reliable — as untainted as silver purified in a furnace on the ground, where it is thoroughly refined.”
