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?"

¹¹ Who is like you, Yahweh, among the gods? Who is like you, glorious in holiness, Fearful in praises, doing wonders?

⁸ There is no one like you among the gods, Lord, Nor any deeds like your deeds.

⁸ Let me hear joy and gladness, That the bones which you have broken may rejoice.

¹⁷ He delivered me from my strong enemy, From those who hated me; for they were too mighty for me.

¹⁹ Your righteousness also, God, reaches to the heavens; You have done great things. God, who is like you?

³¹ For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, To save him from those who judge his soul.

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

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

²³ For Yahweh will plead their case, And plunder the life of those who plunder them.

¹⁸ To whom then will you liken God? or what likeness will you compare to him?

²⁵ To whom then will you liken me, that I should be equal [to him]? says the Holy One.

⁷ Who should not fear you, King of the nations? for to you does it appertain; because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their royal estate, there is none like you.

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

¹⁸ This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise Yah.

¹⁹ For he has looked down from the height of his sanctuary. From heaven, Yahweh saw the earth;

²⁰ To hear the groans of the prisoner; To free those who are condemned to death;

³ For my days consume away like smoke. My bones are burned as a firebrand.

⁶ For who in the skies can be compared to Yahweh? Who among the sons of the heavenly beings is like Yahweh,

⁷ A very awesome God in the council of the holy ones, To be feared above all those who are around him?

⁸ Yahweh, God of hosts, who is a mighty one, like you? Yah, your faithfulness is around you.

¹⁹ He is chastened also with pain on his bed, With continual strife in his bones;

²⁰ So that his life abhors bread, And his soul dainty food.

²¹ His flesh is so consumed away, that it can't be seen; His bones that were not seen stick out.

²² Yes, his soul draws near to the pit, And his life to the destroyers.

²³ "If there is beside him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show to man what is right for him;

²⁴ Then God is gracious to him, and says, 'Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.'

²⁵ His flesh shall be fresher than a child's; He returns to the days of his youth.

¹⁴ But you do see trouble and grief; You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.

¹⁴ I am poured out like water. All my bones are out of joint. My heart is like wax; It is melted within me.

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.

³ When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

⁶ This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.

²⁰ He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.

¹⁴ The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, To kill those who are upright in the way.

³ There is no soundness in my flesh because of your indignation, Neither is there any health in my bones because of my sin.

³³ For Yahweh hears the needy, And doesn't despise his captive people.

¹⁵ But he saves from the sword of their mouth, Even the needy from the hand of the mighty.

¹⁶ So the poor has hope, And injustice shuts her mouth.
