10. the voices of officials were hushed,their tongue stuck to their palate.
11. Indeed, the ear that heard blessed me;the eye that looked commended me,
12. because I rescued the weak who cried out,the orphans who lacked help.
13. The blessing of the perishing reached me;I made the widow’s heart sing;
14. I put on justice, and it clothed me,righteousness as my coat and turban;
15. I was eyes to the blind,feet to the lame.
16. I was a father to the needy;the case I didn’t know, I examined.
17. I shattered the fangs of the wicked,rescued prey from their teeth.
18. I thought, I’ll die in my nest,multiply days like sand,
19. my roots opening to water,dew lingering on my branches,
