Jehovah is known. He has executed judgment; the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

But You have seen it, for You pay attention to trouble and provocation; to repay it with Your hand. The poor commits himself to You; You are the Helper of the fatherless.

Break the arm of the wicked and the evil one; investigate his wickedness, until You find no more.

to vindicate the fatherless and the oppressed, so that the man of the earth may terrify no more.

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, I will now arise, says Jehovah; I will set him in the safety for which he pants.

He shall execute justice for the lowly of the people; He shall save the children of the needy, and shall crush in pieces the oppressor.

Jehovah executes righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed.

Do not rob the poor, because he is poor; nor oppress the afflicted in the gate;

for Jehovah will plead their case, and plunder the soul of those who plunder them.

Do not remove the ancient landmarks, and do not enter into the fields of the fatherless;

for their Redeemer is mighty; He shall plead their case against you.

For You have broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his taskmaster, as in the day of Midian.

And I will come near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against those swearing to a lie; and against those who defraud the hired laborer of his pay, and turn away the widow, and the fatherless, and the alien; and who do not fear Me, says Jehovah of Hosts.

For He satisfies the longing soul, and fills the hungry soul with good.

Who gives food to all flesh, for His mercy is eternal.

The eyes of all wait upon You, and You give them their food in due season.

You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says Jehovah.

He fills the hungry with good things, and the rich He sends away empty.

So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them.

God causes those who are alone to live in households; He delivers those who are bound into prosperity; but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

He sent a man before them; Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

until the time that his word came to pass. The Word of Jehovah had refined him.

Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, prisoners in affliction and irons;

He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke and tore their bonds apart.

For He has broken the gates of bronze, and cut the bars of iron in two.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks unto Your name; the righteous shall surround me, for You shall deal bountifully with me.

The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon Me; because Jehovah has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

As for you, by the blood of your covenant I have set free your prisoners from the pit, where there is no water.

Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.

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 deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free with deliverance those who are oppressed;

But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out, and said,

And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's bonds were loosened.
