LITV(i)
7 when I went out to the gate by the city; when I prepared my seat in the street.
8 The young men saw me and hid themselves; the aged rose up, stood up;
9 the rulers held back with words, and they laid a hand on their mouth;
10 the leaders' voice was hidden; yea, their tongue clung to the roof of their mouth.
11 For the ear heard, and blessed me; and the eye saw, and witnessed for me.
12 For I delivered the poor who cried for help and the orphan who had no helper to him.
13 The blessing of the perishing came on me; and I made the widow's heart to sing.
14 I put on righteousness and it clothed me; my judgment was like a robe and a diadem.
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet for the lame.
16 I was father to the poor, and the cause which I did not know, I searched out.
17 I broke the fangs of the perverse, and cast the prey out of his teeth.
