I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and will execute justice for the needy.
For you have maintained my just cause; you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.
then hear in heaven your dwelling place their prayer and their plea, and maintain their cause
Do not move an ancient landmark or enter the fields of the fatherless, for their Redeemer is strong; he will plead their cause against you.
then hear in heaven their prayer and their plea, and maintain their cause.
He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well. Is not this to know me? declares the Lord.
the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
he regards the prayer of the destitute and does not despise their prayer.
All my bones shall say, “O Lord, who is like you, delivering the poor from him who is too strong for him, the poor and needy from him who robs him?”
but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.
Do not rob the poor, because he is poor, or crush the afflicted at the gate,
For he delivers the needy when he calls, the poor and him who has no helper. He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy. From oppression and violence he redeems their life, and precious is their blood in his sight.
May he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor!
For he has not despised or abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, and he has not hidden his face from him, but has heard, when he cried to him.
O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear to do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more.
