    you consider their grief and take it in hand.
The victims commit themselves to you;^(B)
    you are the helper^(C) of the fatherless.

¹⁸ defending the fatherless^(A) and the oppressed,^(B)
    so that mere earthly mortals
    will never again strike terror.

⁹ The Lord watches over the foreigner^(A)
    and sustains the fatherless^(B) and the widow,^(C)
    but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.
