10 My very flesh and bones shall say, Lord, who [or what] is like to thee? Who savest the poor and weak from them That for him are too [great and] strong; The poor and needy from the men Who him oppress by [spoil and] wrong.
10 My very flesh and bones shall say, Lord, who [or what] is like to thee? Who sav'st the poor and weak from them That for him are too [great and] strong; The poor and needy from the men Who him oppress by [spoil and] wrong.
11 False witness rose; they to my charge Things [false of] which I knew not laid.
12 To spoil my soul unthankful men, Evil for good [to me] repaid.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, In sackcloth clad [for them] I mourned; With fasting I humbled my soul, My prayer home to me returned.
