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.

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

Defend the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and needy.

Deliver the poor and needy; rescue them out of the hand of the wicked.

He shall turn toward the prayer of the destitute, and shall not despise their prayer.

to hear the groaning of the prisoner, to set free the children of death,

because I delivered the poor who cried out, the fatherless and the one who had no one to help him.

The poor and needy seek water, and there is none; their tongue fails for thirst. I Jehovah will hear them, I the God of Israel will not abandon them.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set free with deliverance those who are oppressed;

Jesus answered and said to them, Go and tell John the things you have seen and heard: that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the gospel preached to them.

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich.

Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to God through Him, since He lives forever to make intercession for them.

Because you say, I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing; and do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked;

I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun. And behold the tears of the oppressed ones, and they had no comforter! And on the side of those who oppressed them there was power, but they had no comforter.

For the day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come.

And I looked, and there was no one to help; and I wondered that there was no one to uphold; therefore My own arm has given victory for Me; and My fury sustained Me.
