⁶ He reviveth not the wicked, And the judgment of the poor appointeth;

¹² For he delivereth the needy who crieth, And the poor when he hath no helper,

¹³ He hath pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he saveth,

¹⁴ From fraud and from violence he redeemeth their soul, And precious is their blood in his eyes.

²² Rob not the poor because he `is' poor, And bruise not the afflicted in the gate.

²³ For Jehovah pleadeth their cause, And hath spoiled the soul of their spoilers.

¹² I have known that Jehovah doth execute The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.

⁹ The Lord hath known to rescue pious ones out of temptation, and unrighteous ones to a day of judgment, being punished, to keep,

¹ Righteous `art' Thou, O Jehovah, When I plead towards thee, Only, judgments do I speak with Thee, Wherefore did the way of the wicked prosper? At rest have been all treacherous dealers.

² Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root, They go on, yea, they have made fruit, Near `art' Thou in their mouth, And far off from their reins.

⁴ And he hath judged in righteousness the poor, And decided in uprightness for the humble of earth, And hath smitten earth with the rod of his mouth, And with the breath of his lips he putteth the wicked to death.

¹ -- A Psalm of Asaph. God hath stood in the company of God, In the midst God doth judge.

² Till when do ye judge perversely? And the face of the wicked lift up? Selah.

³ Judge ye the weak and fatherless, The afflicted and the poor declare righteous.

⁴ Let the weak and needy escape, From the hand of the wicked deliver them.

⁴ He judgeth the poor of the people, Giveth deliverance to the sons of the needy, And bruiseth the oppressor.

²³ And Thou, O God, dost bring them down To a pit of destruction, Men of blood and deceit reach not to half their days, And I -- I do trust in Thee!

¹⁴ Thou hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave `it', Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.

¹⁵ Break the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his wickedness, find none;

¹² For He who is seeking for blood Them hath remembered, He hath not forgotten the cry of the afflicted.

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.

¹⁵ Eyes I have been to the blind, And feet to the lame `am' I.

¹⁶ A father I `am' to the needy, And the cause I have not known I search out.

¹⁷ And I break the jaw-teeth of the perverse, And from his teeth I cast away prey.

³⁰ That to a day of calamity is the wicked spared. To a day of wrath they are brought.

⁷ Wherefore do the wicked live? They have become old, Yea, they have been mighty in wealth.

⁸ Their seed is established, Before their face with them, And their offspring before their eyes.

⁹ Their houses `are' peace without fear, Nor `is' a rod of God upon them.

²² Those hating thee do put on shame, And the tent of the wicked is not!

¹⁵ And He saveth the wasted from their mouth, And from a strong hand the needy,

²² `Any widow or orphan ye do not afflict;

²³ if thou dost really afflict him, surely if he at all cry unto Me, I certainly hear his cry;

²⁴ and Mine anger hath burned, and I have slain you by the sword, and your wives have been widows, and your sons orphans.
