7 Who executeth justice for the oppressed; who giveth bread to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners;

9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; He upholdeth the fatherless and the widow; but the way of the wicked He maketh crooked.

The LORD preserveth the strangers; he upholdeth the fatherless and widow; but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

The LORD shall reign for ever, thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
