Open your mouth for the speechless, In the cause of all who are appointed to die. | Speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves, and defend the rights of the destitute. |
Open your mouth, judge righteously, And plead the cause of the poor and needy. | Speak out and pronounce righteous judgments; defend the rights of the wretched and the poor. |
