¹⁶ “If I have kept ^(A)the poor from their desire,
Or have caused the eyes of ^(B)the widow to fail,
¹⁷ Or have ^(C)eaten my morsel alone,
And ^(D)the orphan has not ^[a]shared it

²¹ If I have lifted up my hand against ^(A)the orphan,
Because I saw ^[a]I had support ^(B)in the gate,

⁹ The Lord ^(A)watches over strangers;
He ^[a](B)supports the fatherless and the widow,
But He ^[b]thwarts ^(C)the way of the wicked.

¹⁷ Learn to do good;
^(A)Seek justice,
Rebuke the oppressor,
^(B)Obtain justice for the orphan,
Plead for the widow’s case.
