9. The princes refrained from talking, And laid their hand on their mouth;
10. The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
11. For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me; And when the eye saw me, it gave witness unto me:
12. Because I delivered the poor that cried, The fatherless also, that had none to help him.
13. The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me; And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
