Executeth

The Lord has made Himself known;
He has executed judgment.
In the work of his own hands the wicked is snared.

Higgaion Selah.

You have seen it, for You have beheld mischief and vexation to take it into Your hand.
The

unfortunate commits himself to You;

You have been the helper of the orphan.

“Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy,
Now I will arise,” says the Lord; “I will set him in the safety for which he longs.”

May he vindicate the afflicted of the people,

Save the children of the needy
And crush the oppressor.

The Lord

performs righteous deeds

And judgments for all who are oppressed.

Do not rob the poor because he is poor,

Or crush the afflicted at the gate;

Do not move the ancient boundary
Or go into the fields of the fatherless,

For You shall break the yoke of their burden and the staff on their shoulders,
The rod of their oppressor, as at the battle of Midian.

“Then I will draw near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against those who swear falsely, and against those who oppress the wage earner in his wages, the widow and the orphan, and those who turn aside the

alien and do not fear Me,” says the Lord of hosts.

Which giveth food

For He has satisfied the thirsty soul,
And the hungry soul He has filled with what is good.

Who gives food to all flesh,
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.

The eyes of all look to You,
And You give them their food in due time.

“I will fill the soul of the priests with abundance,
And My people will be satisfied with My goodness,” declares the Lord.

“He has filled the hungry with good things;
And sent away the rich empty-handed.

And they all ate and were satisfied; and the broken pieces which they had left over were picked up, twelve baskets full.

Looseth

God

makes a home for the lonely;

He leads out the prisoners into prosperity,
Only the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

He sent a man before them,
Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

There were those who dwelt in darkness and in the shadow of death,

Prisoners in misery and chains,

“Bring my soul out of prison,
So that I may give thanks to Your name;
The righteous will surround me,
For You will deal bountifully with me.”

The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me,
Because the Lord has anointed me
To bring good news to the

afflicted;

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to captives
And freedom to prisoners;

As for you also, because of the blood of My covenant with you,
I have set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,
Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.
He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives,
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set free those who are oppressed,

But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the gates of the prison, and taking them out he said,

and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were unfastened.
