Yet He sets the needy securely on high, away from affliction,
And makes their families like a flock.
Your flock found a dwelling place in it;
O God, in Your goodness You provided for the poor.
Who executes justice for the oppressed,
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets free the prisoners.
You [evildoers] shamefully plan against the poor,
But the Lord is his safe refuge.
