When He investigates bloodshed, He forgets not the cry of the lowly.

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, I will now arise, says Jehovah; I will set him in the safety for which he pants.

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 redeem their soul from oppression and violence; and their blood shall be precious in His sight.

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,

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

He fills the hungry with good things, and the rich He sends away empty.

And He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said: Blessed are you poor, for yours is the kingdom of God.

Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

For surely there is a hereafter, and your hope shall not be cut off.

So shall the knowledge of wisdom be to your soul; when you have found it, then there shall be a reward, and your expectation shall not be cut off.
