Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
“The consequent preciousness of the Sacred Scriptures – Precious as purified silver. Precious in life, in death. We value what is tried. In sickness, a tried medicine; in trouble, a tried friend; in bad weather, a tried ship, a tried captain, a tried anchor. Thank God! We have a tried religion. The Bible never failed our glorious religious ancestry, and it will never fail us.”
W. L. Watkinson, commenting on Psalm 12:6. (The Preacher’s Commentary on the Book of Psalms, Vol. I, London: Richard D. Dickinson, 1881, p. 49)
