⁷ Is it not to share your food with the hungry^(A)
    and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter^(B)—
when you see the naked, to clothe^(C) them,
    and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?^(D)
8 Then your light will break forth like the dawn,^(E)
    and your healing^(F) will quickly appear;
then your righteousness^[a](G) will go before you,
    and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard.^(H)
9 Then you will call,^(I) and the Lord will answer;^(J)
    you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.

“If you do away with the yoke of oppression,
    with the pointing finger^(K) and malicious talk,^(L)
10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry
    and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,^(M)
then your light^(N) will rise in the darkness,
    and your night will become like the noonday.^(O)

⁴ Even in darkness light dawns^(A) for the upright,
    for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.^(B)
5 Good will come to those who are generous and lend freely,^(C)
    who conduct their affairs with justice.

⁶ Surely the righteous will never be shaken;^(A)
    they will be remembered^(B) forever.
⁷ They will have no fear of bad news;
    their hearts are steadfast,^(C) trusting in the Lord.^(D)

⁸ Their hearts are secure, they will have no fear;^(A)
    in the end they will look in triumph on their foes.^(B)
9 They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor,^(C)
    their righteousness endures^(D) forever;
    their horn^[a] will be lifted^(E) high in honor.
