¹⁶ “If I have held back ^(A)the poor from their desire,
Or have caused the eyes of ^(B)the widow to fail,

¹⁷ Or have ^(A)eaten my morsel alone,
And ^(B)the orphan has not eaten from it

²¹ If I have waved my hand against ^(A)the orphan
Because I saw my help ^(B)in the gate,

⁹ Yahweh ^(A)keeps the sojourners;
He ^[a](B)helps up the orphan and the widow,
But He bends ^(C)the way of the wicked.

¹⁷ Learn to do good;
^(A)Seek justice,
Reprove the ruthless,
^(B)Execute justice for the ^[a]orphan,
Plead for the widow.
