⁹ Open thy mouth, judge righteously, Both the cause of the poor and needy!'

⁴ Sing ye to God -- praise His name, Raise up a highway for Him who is riding in deserts, In Jah `is' His name, and exult before Him.

⁵ Father of the fatherless, and judge of the widows, `Is' God in His holy habitation.

⁶ God -- causing the lonely to dwell at home, Bringing out bound ones into prosperity, Only -- the refractory have inhabited a dry place.

⁹ `Thus spake Jehovah of Hosts, saying: True judgment judge ye, And kindness and mercy do one with another.

¹⁰ And widow, and fatherless, Sojourner, and poor, ye do not oppress, And the calamity of one another ye do not devise in your heart.

¹¹ And they refuse to attend, And they give a refractory shoulder, And their ears have made heavy against hearing.

⁹ Jehovah is preserving the strangers, The fatherless and widow He causeth to stand, And the way of the wicked He turneth upside down.

¹⁷ Seek judgment, make happy the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, strive `for' the widow.

²⁷ religion pure and undefiled with the God and Father is this, to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation -- unspotted to keep himself from the world.

³ honour widows who are really widows;

¹² For I deliver the afflicted who is crying, And the fatherless who hath no helper.

¹³ The blessing of the perishing cometh on me, And the heart of the widow I cause to sing.

¹⁴ Righteousness I have put on, and it clotheth me, As a robe and a diadem my justice.
