“Because of the devastation of the poor, because of the groaning of the needy, Now I will arise,” says the Lord; “I will put him in the safety for which he longs.”

You would put to shame the plan of the poor, But the Lord is his refuge.

All my bones will say, “Lord, who is like You, Who rescues the afflicted from one who is too strong for him, And the afflicted and the poor from one who robs him?”

Both low and high, Rich and poor together.

Your creatures settled in it; In Your kindness You provided for the poor, God.

He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And he will save the lives of the needy.

He has given freely to the poor, His righteousness endures forever; His horn will be exalted in honor.

He raises the poor from the dust, He lifts the needy from the garbage heap,

I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted, And justice for the poor.
