  1. Psalm 24:4 Or in vain

Is this not the fast which I choose,
To (A)loosen the bonds of wickedness,
To release the bands of [a]the yoke,
And to (B)let the oppressed go free
And (C)break every [b]yoke?
Is it not to (D)divide your bread [c]with the hungry
And (E)bring the afflicted homeless into the house;
When you see the (F)naked, you cover him;
And not to (G)hide yourself from your own flesh?
Then your (H)light will break out like the dawn,
And your (I)recovery will speedily spring forth;
And your (J)righteousness will go before you;
The glory of (K)Yahweh will be your rear guard.
Then you will (L)call, and Yahweh will answer;
You will cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’
If you (M)remove the [d]yoke from your midst,
The [e](N)pointing of the finger and (O)speaking wickedness,
10 And if you [f](P)offer your soul to the hungry
And satisfy the soul of the afflicted,
Then your (Q)light will rise in darkness
And your thick darkness will become like midday.
11 And (R)Yahweh will continually guide you,
And (S)satisfy your soul in scorched places,
And (T)fortify your bones;
And you will be like a (U)watered garden,
And like a (V)spring of water whose waters do not [g]fail.
