22. [23] I will declare Thy Shem unto my Achim; in the midst of the Kahal will I praise Thee.

24. [25] For He hath not despised nor disdained the enut ani (affliction of the afflicted); neither hath He hid His face from him; but when he cried unto Him, He heard.
25. [26] My tehillah shall be from Thee in the Kahal Rav; I will fulfill my nedar before them that fear Him.
26. [27] The anavim (meek) shall eat and be satisfied; they that seek Him shall praise Hashem. Let your levav live forever!
27. [28] All the ends of HaAretz shall remember and turn unto Hashem; and all the mishpechot of the Goyim shall bow down in worship before Thee.
