The Lord watches over the strangers;He relieves the fatherless and widow;But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.

The Lord watches over the strangers;He relieves the fatherless and widow;But the way of the wicked He turns upside down.

He administers justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the stranger, giving him food and clothing.

God sets the solitary in families;He brings out those who are bound into prosperity;But the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

Your congregation dwelt in it;You, O God, provided from Your goodness for the poor.

For the Lord will judge His people,And He will have compassion on His servants.

Let them shout for joy and be glad,Who favor my righteous cause;And let them say continually,“Let the Lord be magnified,Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant.”

Who confirms the word of His servant,And performs the counsel of His messengers;Who says to Jerusalem, ‘You shall be inhabited,’To the cities of Judah, ‘You shall be built,’And I will raise up her waste places;

Who confirms the word of His servant,And performs the counsel of His messengers;Who says to Jerusalem, ‘You shall be inhabited,’To the cities of Judah, ‘You shall be built,’And I will raise up her waste places;

Who makes His angels spirits,His ministers a flame of fire.
