12  For he who ^pavenges blood is mindful of them;

^qhe does not forget the cry of the afflicted.

3  Give ^ejustice to the weak and the fatherless;

^fmaintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.

4  Rescue the weak and the needy;

deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

12  I know that ^dthe Lord will ^emaintain the cause of the afflicted,

and will execute justice for the needy.
