When I went to the gate of the city, or to the main street, they prepared a chair for me.
The youths saw me and hid themselves, and the elders, rising up, remained standing.
The leaders stopped talking, and they placed a finder over their mouth.
The commanders subdued their voice, and their tongue adhered to their throat.
The ear that heard me, blessed me, and the eye that saw me, gave testimony for me.
This was because I had freed the poor, who cried out, and the orphan, who had no helper.
The blessing of him who would have been destroyed came upon me, and I consoled the heart of the widow.
