Rescue the weak and needy; Save them from the hand of the wicked.
Because I saved the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper.
¶I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the poor.
This is what the Lord says: “Do justice and righteousness, and save one who has been robbed from the power of his oppressor. And do not mistreat or do violence to the stranger, the orphan, or the widow; and do not shed innocent blood in this place.
