The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, [and] stood up.
The princes refrained talking, and laid [their] hand on their mouth.
The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
When the ear heard [me], then it blessed me; and when the eye saw [me], it gave witness to me:
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and [him that had] none to help him.
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment [was] as a robe and a diadem.
I was eyes to the blind, and feet [was] I to the lame.
I [was] a father to the poor: and the cause [which] I knew not I searched out.
And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
