19 Thy turtle-dove's soul do not thou Unto the [wicked] croud deliver; The Congregation of thy poor [O] do not [thou] forget for ever.
20 Unto thy Covenant have respect, [For now] the earth's dark places be Full of the habitations Of [wicked] mens great cruelty.
21 O let not those that are oppressed, Return [again] with grief and shame; But let the poor, and men distressed Give praises to thy [holy] name.
21 O let not those that are opprest, Return [again] with grief and shame; But let the poor, and men distress'd Give praises to thy [holy] name.
22 Arise, O Lord, plead and maintain The Cause that is [indeed] thine own; Remember how thou art reproached, Even [daily] by the foolish one.
