The words of the LORD are pure words;
As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, refined seven times.
Imagine a bunch of silver ore, dropped into the pot and heated to several hundred degrees. As it turns liquid, the different metals begin to separate, some floating to the top. Silver is heavier, so the non-silver floats up, and is carefully removed. When there is nothing left to see, the silver is poured out. But the smith decides that's not good enough, and sends it through again. Some additional dross eventually surfaces, and the purer silver is poured out. Still he's not satisfied. He sends it through seven times, until not a trace of impurity can be found.
This is what God's words are like. His pronouncements and instructions do not have the slightest impurity in them. They are completely correct, without shade of any hint of imperfection. This is the God we server, one who has absolutely no fault.
