When, the ear, heard, then it pronounced me happy, When, the eye, saw, then it bare me witness; Because I used to deliver the oppressed who was crying out for aid, the fatherless also, and him that had no helper; The blessing of him that was ready to perish, upon me was wont to descend, and, the heart of the widow, caused I to sing for joy; read more.
Righteousness, I put on, and it clothed me, Like a robe and turban, was my, justice; Eyes, became I to the, blind, and, feet to the lame, was, I! A father, was, I, to the needy, and, as for the cause which I knew not, I used to search it out; And I shivered the fangs of the perverse, - and, out of his teeth, I tare the prey.

If I withheld - from pleasure - the poor, or, the eyes of the widow, I dimmed; Or, used to eat my morsel alone, so that the fatherless did not eat thereof; Surely, from my youth, he grew up to me, as to a father, and, from my birth, I acted as guide to her: read more.
If I saw one perishing for lack of clothing, or that the needy had no covering; If his loins did not bless me, or if, with the fleece of my lambs, he did not warm himself; If I shook - against the fatherless - my hand, when I saw, in the gate, his need of my help, Let, my shoulder, from the shoulder-blade, fall, and, my arm, from the upper bone, be broken; For, a dread unto me, was calamity from GOD, and, from his majesty, I could not escape.
