MLV(i)
7 when I went forth to the gate to the city, when I prepared my seat in the street.
8 The young men saw me and hid themselves and the aged rose up and stood. 9 The rulers refrained from talking and laid their hand on their mouth. 10 The voice of the ranking men was hushed and their tongue stuck 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 to me.
12 Because I delivered the poor who cried, also the fatherless who had none to help him. 13 The blessing of him who was ready to perish came upon me and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
14 I put on righteousness and it clothed me. My justice was as a robe and a diadem.
