11
Whoever heard me spoke well of me,
and those who saw me commended me,
12
because I rescued the poor who cried for help,
and the fatherless who had none to assist him.
13
The man who was dying blessed me;
I made the widow’s heart sing.
14
I put on righteousness as my clothing;
justice was my robe and my turban.
15
I was eyes to the blind
and feet to the lame.
16
I was a father to the needy;
I took up the case of the stranger.
17
I broke the fangs of the wicked
and snatched the victims from their teeth.
