²⁴ And has taken us out of the hands of our haters: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

² Let those whose cause the Lord has taken up say so, his people whom he has taken out of the hands of their haters;

¹³ In your mercy you went before the people whom you have made yours; guiding them in your strength to your holy place.

¹⁵ And keep in mind that you yourself were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God made you free: so I give you this order today.

¹⁰ Do not let the landmark of the widow be moved, and do not go into the fields of those who have no father;

¹¹ For their saviour is strong, and he will take up their cause against you.

⁹ It was no sent one or angel, but he himself who was their saviour: in his love and in his pity he took up their cause, and he took them in his arms, caring for them all through the years.

⁶⁸ Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has come to his people and made them free,

⁶⁹ Lifting up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David,

⁷⁰ (As he said, by the mouth of his holy prophets, from the earliest times,)

⁷¹ Salvation from those who are against us, and from the hands of those who have hate for us;

⁷² To do acts of mercy to our fathers and to keep in mind his holy word,

⁷³ The oath which he made to Abraham, our father,

⁷⁴ That we, being made free from the fear of those who are against us, might give him worship,

¹⁴ Who gave himself for us, so that he might make us free from all wrongdoing, and make for himself a people clean in heart and on fire with good works.
