¹² I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the needy.

⁴ For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

⁴⁹ then hear you their prayer and their supplication in heaven, your dwelling-place, and maintain their cause;

⁴⁵ then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

⁵ the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

¹⁶ He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Wasn't this to know me? says Yahweh.

⁴ but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth; and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he kill the wicked.

¹⁰ Don't move the ancient boundary stone. Don't encroach on the fields of the fatherless:

¹¹ For their Defender is strong. He will plead their case against you.

²² Don't exploit the poor, because he is poor; And don't crush the needy in court;

¹⁷ He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, And has not despised their prayer.

¹² For he will deliver the needy when he cries; The poor, who has no helper.

¹³ He will have pity on the poor and needy. He will save the souls of the needy.

¹⁴ He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence. Their blood will be precious in his sight.

⁴ He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, And will break the oppressor in pieces.

¹⁰ All my bones shall say, "Yahweh, who is like you, Who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him, Yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?"

²⁴ For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hidden his face from him; But when he cried to him, he heard.

¹⁷ Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,

¹⁸ To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, That man who is of the earth may terrify no more.
