¹² because I ^(A)delivered the poor who cried for help,
    and the fatherless who had none to help him.
^13 (B)The blessing of him who was ^(C)about to perish came upon me,
    and I caused ^(D)the widow's heart to sing for joy.
¹⁴ I ^(E)put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
    my justice was like a robe and ^(F)a turban.
¹⁵ I was ^(G)eyes to the blind
    and feet to the lame.
¹⁶ I was a father to the needy,
    and I searched out ^(H)the cause of him whom I did not know.

¹⁷     learn to do good;
^(A)seek justice,
    correct oppression;
^(B)bring justice to the fatherless,
    plead the widow's cause.
