²¹ Do not let the oppressed^(A) retreat in disgrace;
    may the poor and needy^(B) praise your name.

⁵ “Because the poor are plundered^(A) and the needy groan,^(B)
    I will now arise,^(C)” says the Lord.
    “I will protect them^(D) from those who malign them.”

“Give thanks to the Lord Almighty,
    for the Lord is good;^(C)
    his love endures forever.”^(D)

¹⁷ But Israel will be saved^(A) by the Lord
    with an everlasting salvation;^(B)
you will never be put to shame or disgraced,^(C)
    to ages everlasting.

²² For I am poor and needy,
    and my heart is wounded within me.

⁶ The Lord works righteousness^(A)
    and justice for all the oppressed.^(B)

¹⁹ “The Lord looked down^(A) from his sanctuary on high,
    from heaven he viewed the earth,
²⁰ to hear the groans of the prisoners^(B)
    and release those condemned to death.”
²¹ So the name of the Lord will be declared^(C) in Zion
    and his praise^(D) in Jerusalem

¹⁰ My whole being will exclaim,
    “Who is like you,^(A) Lord?
You rescue the poor from those too strong^(B) for them,
    the poor and needy^(C) from those who rob them.”

¹⁸ But God will never forget the needy;
    the hope^(A) of the afflicted^(B) will never perish.
