The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
For when the ear heardme, then it blessed me; And when the eye sawme, it gave witness unto me:
Because I delivered the poor that cried, The fatherless also, that had none to help him.
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me; And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: My justice was as a robe and a diadem.
I was eyes to the blind, And feet was I to the lame.
