From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The blessing of him that was ready to perish ... -Of the man who was falsely accused, and who was in danger of being condemned, or of him who was exposed to death by poverty and want. And I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy -By becoming her patron and friend; by vindicating her cause, and saving her from the oppressive exactions of others; compareIsaiah 1:17.
