25 For he has not spurned or disdained
    the misery of this poor wretch,
Did not turn away[a] from me,
    but heard me when I cried out.
26 I will offer praise in the great assembly;
    my vows I will fulfill before those who fear him.
27 The poor[b] will eat their fill;
    those who seek the Lord will offer praise.
    May your hearts enjoy life forever!”(A)

  1. 22:25 Turn away: lit., “hides his face from me,” an important metaphor for God withdrawing from someone, e.g., Mi 3:4; Is 8:17; Ps 27:9; 69:18; 88:15.
  2. 22:27 The poor: originally the poor, who were dependent on God; the term (‘anawim) came to include the religious sense of “humble, pious, devout.”

25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;(A)
    before those who fear you[a] I will fulfill my vows.(B)
26 The poor will eat(C) and be satisfied;
    those who seek the Lord will praise him—(D)
    may your hearts live forever!

27 All the ends of the earth(E)
    will remember and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
    will bow down before him,(F)
