10  your flock¹ found a dwelling in it;

in your goodness, O God, you ^zprovided for the needy.

13  He has pity on the weak and the needy,

and saves the lives of the needy.

9  He has ^wdistributed freely; he has given to the poor;

his righteousness endures forever;

his ^xhorn is exalted in honor.

7  He ^mraises the poor from the dust

and lifts the needy from the ash heap,

12  I know that the Lord will ^pmaintain the cause of the afflicted,

and ^qwill execute justice for the needy.
