¹³ He will spare the poor and needy,
And will save the souls of the needy.

⁴ But ^(A)with righteousness He shall judge the poor,
And decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
He shall ^(B)strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.

^19 (A)The humble also shall increase their joy in the Lord,
And ^(B)the poor among men shall rejoice
In the Holy One of Israel.

⁷ Also the schemes of the schemer are evil;
He devises wicked plans
To destroy the poor with ^(A)lying words,
Even when the needy speaks justice.
