What is the meaning of "Birkas Oved Alai Tavo"?

1.

Rashi: If one died due to his sin, I fed his orphans and widows. Malbim - the Seifa "v'Lev Almanah Arnin" explains this.

2.

Rashi citing Bava Basra 16a: He would steal orphans' land, improve it, and return it to them 1 .

Rashi: The verse implies unlike this. Oved is something that it itself is lost, e.g. "ki'Chli Oved", "Ta'isi k'Seh Oved", "Tzon Ovedos."

2)

How did he make a widow's heart sing?

1.

Rashi: He would say about her 'she is my relative', or 'I will marry her', in order that men would want to marry her.

2.

Ibn Ezra (42:17): [Elifaz] charged that Iyov (a judge) did not do justice for widows. He refuted this.
