Executeth

The LORD is known by the judgment which he has executed; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion (meditate on this for ever). Selah.

Thou hast seen it, for thou dost behold mischief and spite to requite it with thy hand: the poor commits himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now I will arise, saith the LORD; I will set in safety the one whom the wicked one has ensnared.

He shall judge the poor of the people; he shall save the children of the destitute and shall break in pieces the violent.

The LORD executes righteousness and justice unto all that suffer violence.

Rob not the poor, because he is poor: neither destroy the destitute in judgment:

Do not remove the old landmark, and do not enter into the inheritance of the fatherless:

For thou hast broken his heavy yoke and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.

And I will come near unto you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers and against the adulterers and against false swearers and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and do not fear me, said the LORD of the hosts.

Which giveth food

For he satisfies the soul that is destitute and fills the hungry soul with goodness.

Who gives food to all flesh: for his mercy endures for ever.

Ain The eyes of all wait upon thee, and thou givest them their food in due season.

And I will satiate the soul of the priest with fatness, and my people shall be filled with my goodness, said the LORD.

He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent empty away.

And they ate and were all filled, and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

Looseth

God sets the solitary in families; he brings out those who are bound with chains, but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a slave,

Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and in irons,

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name; the righteous shall feast with me; when thou shalt have weaned me.

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me because the LORD has anointed me; he has sent me to preach good tidings unto those who are cast down; to bind up the wounds of the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those that are bound;

As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant I have taken thy prisoners out of the pit in which there is no water.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those that are broken,

But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors and brought them forth and said,

then suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.
