New King James Version

¹⁰If you extend your soul to the hungry
And satisfy the afflicted soul,
Then your light shall dawn in the darkness,
And your ^[a]darkness shall be as the noonday.

And satisfy your soul in drought,
And strengthen your bones;

And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

You shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
