11  When the ear heard, it called me blessed,

and when the eye saw, it approved,

12  because I ^kdelivered the poor who cried for help,

and the fatherless who had none to help him.

13  ^lThe blessing of him who was ^mabout to perish came upon me,

and I caused ⁿthe widow’s heart to sing for joy.

14  I ^oput on righteousness, and it clothed me;

my justice was like a robe and ^pa turban.

15  I was ^qeyes to the blind

and feet to the lame.

16  I was a father to the needy,

and I searched out ^rthe cause of him whom I did not know.

17  I ^sbroke ^tthe fangs of the unrighteous

and made him drop his prey from his teeth.
