# redeems their lives

Here "lives" refers to the whole person. AT: "redeems them" or "saves them" or "rescues them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])

# oppression and violence

These two words mean basically the same thing and emphasize how badly the needy suffer. These abstract nouns can be stated as verbs. AT: "those who oppress them and hurt them" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns]])

# their blood is precious in his sight
