So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.

Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;

They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.

They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.

The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.

Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.

I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.

If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;

How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.

He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.

He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
