Psalms 103:6
The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
BSB
ASV
Jehovah executeth righteous acts, And judgments for all that are oppressed.
KJV
The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.
God is not only just in principle but active — he executes righteousness for all who are oppressed.
The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are of oppressed. Our own personal obligations must not absorb our song; we must also magnify the Lord for his goodness to others. He does not leave the poor and needy to perish at the hands of their enemies, but interposes on their behalf, for he is the executor of the poor and the executioner of the cruel. When his people were in Egypt he heard their groanings and brought them forth, but he overthrew Pharaoh in the Red Sea. Man's injustice shall receive retribution at the hand of God.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.

Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.
