11 Yea▪ all the greatest Kings on earth Shall [prostrate] down before him fall; The many nations of the world Shall [also] humbly serve him all.
12 The weak and needy he will save, When they [for help] to him do call; Also the poor and forlorn man, That hath no [humane] help at all.
13 Those that are low and indigent He shall in [tender] mercy spare, And (not oppress, but) save the souls Of them that [weak and] needy are.
14 Their souls from fraud and violence His [power and] mercy shall redeem; Their blood he shall not vilify, But [it as] precious shall esteem.
14 Their souls from fraud and violence His [pow'r and] mercy shall redeem; Their blood he shall not vilifie, But [it as] precious shall esteem.
