"He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing.

But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief, To repay [it] by Your hand. The helpless commits himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.

The LORD [is] King forever and ever; The nations have perished out of His land.

To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, That the man of the earth may oppress no more.

Defend the poor and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and needy.

The LORD watches over the strangers; He relieves the fatherless and widow; But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.

Do not remove the ancient landmark, Nor enter the fields of the fatherless;

For their Redeemer [is] mighty; He will plead their cause against you.

Now she who is really a widow, and left alone, trusts in God and continues in supplications and prayers night and day.
