72:12For he will rescue the needy27 when they cry out for help,
and the oppressed28 who have no defender.
72:13He will take pity29 on the poor and needy;
the lives of the needy he will save.
72:14From harm and violence he will defend them;30
he will value their lives.31
Footnotes
- 27 The singular is representative. The typical needy individual here represents the entire group.
- 28 The singular is representative. The typical oppressed individual here represents the entire group.
- 29 The prefixed verb form is best understood as a defectively written imperfect (see Deut 7:16).
- 30 Or “redeem their lives.” The verb “redeem” casts the Lord in the role of a leader who protects members of his extended family in times of need and crisis (see Pss 19:14; 69:18).
- 31 Heb “their blood will be precious in his eyes.”
