- Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and delight in his salvation.
- My whole being will exclaim, "Who is like you, O LORD ? You rescue the poor from those too strong for them, the poor and needy from those who rob them."
- Ruthless witnesses come forward; they question me on things I know nothing about.
- They repay me evil for good and leave my soul forlorn.
- Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting. When my prayers returned to me unanswered,
|
- And my soul shall rejoice in the LORD; It shall exult in His salvation.
- All my bones will say, "LORD, who is like You, Who delivers the afflicted from him who is too strong for him, And the afflicted and the needy from him who robs him?"
- Malicious witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I do not know.
- They repay me evil for good, To the bereavement of my soul.
- But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled my soul with fasting, And my prayer kept returning to my bosom.
