^4 [a]May he ^(A)vindicate the ^[b]afflicted of the people,
Save the children of the needy,
And crush the oppressor.

⁴ But with ^(A)righteousness He will judge the ^(B)poor,
And decide with fairness for the ^(C)humble of the earth;
And He will strike the earth with the ^(D)rod of His mouth,
And with the ^(E)breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
