Original Text:

וַיֹּשַׁע מֵחֶרֶב מִפִּיהֶם וּמִיַּד חָזָק אֶבְיוֹן: וַתְּהִי לַדַּל תִּקְוָה וְעֹלָתָה קָפְצָה פִּיהָ:

Translation:

But God saves the needy from the sword of their mouth, from the clutches of the strong. So there is hope for the wretched; the mouth of wrongdoing is stopped.
[JPS translation]
