Singto the LORD,praisethe LORD!For He has deliveredthe soulof the needyoneFrom the handof evildoers.
Thispoormancried,and the LORDheardhim And savedhim out of allhis troubles.
For the LORDhearsthe needyAnd does not despiseHis [who are] prisoners.
May he vindicatethe afflictedof the people,Savethe childrenof the needyAnd crushthe oppressor.
For You have beena defensefor the helpless,A defensefor the needyin his distress,A refugefrom the storm,a shadefrom the heat;For the breathof the ruthlessIs like a [rain] storm[against] a wall.
"So I will deliveryou from the handof the wicked,And I will redeemyou from the graspof the violent."
For thussaysthe LORD,"Singaloudwith gladnessfor Jacob,And shoutamong the chiefof the nations;Proclaim,givepraiseand say,'O LORD,saveYour people,The remnantof Israel.'
