The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, {is} God in his holy habitation.

For the LORD your God {is} God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:

Remove not the old landmark; and enter not into the fields of the fatherless: {landmark: or, bound}

The wicked are overthrown, and {are} not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.

The house of the wicked shall be overthrown: but the tabernacle of the upright shall flourish.

Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, {and} to keep himself unspotted from the world.

But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: {in pride: or, to deal proudly} {deposed: Chaldee, made to come down}

For the day of the LORD of hosts {shall be} upon every {one that is} proud and lofty, and upon every {one that is} lifted up; and he shall be brought low:

Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one {that is} proud, and abase him.

Though the LORD {be} high, yet hath he respect unto the lowly: but the proud he knoweth afar off.

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all {of you} be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of {thy} dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah. {destroy...: Heb. beat thee down}

Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour's landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it.

[To the chief Musician, Maschil, {A Psalm} of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.] Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God {endureth} continually. {Maschil: or, of instruction}

The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: {covetousness...: Gr. covetousnesses, wickednesses}

And his concubine, whose name {was} Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.

Look on every one {that is} proud, {and} bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

The wicked are overthrown, and {are} not: but the house of the righteous shall stand.
