Psalms 12:5

"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."

These words constitute a direct answer to David's cry for help from the Lord.

"Now will I arise, saith Jehovah." Addis and other radical critics have alleged that this is a quotation from Isaiah 33:10;[5] but it takes a vivid imagination indeed to believe that five words, the equivalent of which are used a thousand times in the Bible, are any kind of a legitimate quotation. Besides that, how could anyone know "who quoted whom?" Addis' assertion that Isaiah 33 was written in the second century B.C. contradicts the appearance of Isaiah 33 some 200 years prior to that in the LXX.
