³ The God of Israel spoke,
    the Rock^(A) of Israel said to me:
‘When one rules over people in righteousness,^(B)
    when he rules in the fear^(C) of God,^(D)

³ Defend the weak and the fatherless;^(A)
    uphold the cause of the poor^(B) and the oppressed.

⁴ Rescue the weak and the needy;
    deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
