3Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.3Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.
4Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”4Rescue the poor and needy; save them from the power of the wicked."
5They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.5They do not know or understand; they wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
