CLV(i)
7 When I went forth to the gate standing over the town And prepared my seat in the square,
8 The youths would see me and hide themselves, While the hoary-headed would rise and stand.
9 The chiefs would restrain their declarations And place the palm over their mouth;
10 The voices of the noblemen were hidden back, And their tongue would cling to their palate.
11 When the ear heard, it called me happy, And when the eye saw, it testified in my favor.
12 For I made a way of escape for the humble who implored, And the orphan and him who had no helper.
13 The blessing of the one perishing came on me, And I caused the heart of the widow to jubilate.
14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My right judgment was as a robe and a turban.
