But You have seen it, for You pay attention to trouble and provocation; to repay it with Your hand. The poor commits himself to You; You are the Helper of the fatherless.

Jehovah, You have heard the desire of the lowly; You will prepare their heart, You will cause Your ear to hear,

All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like You, who delivers the lowly from him who is too strong for him; yea, the poor and the needy from him who plunders him?

He shall execute justice for the lowly of the people; He shall save the children of the needy, and shall crush in pieces the oppressor.

For He shall deliver the needy when he cries, and the lowly who has no helper.

He shall have pity on the poor and needy and shall save the souls of the needy.

yet He exalts the poor out of affliction, and makes their families like a flock.

For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those who condemn his soul.

I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the poor.
