For God the poor hears, and will not his prisoners contemn.
For the LORD heareth the poor, And despiseth not his prisoners.
For the Lord hears the poor and needy and despises not His prisoners (His miserable and wounded ones).
For Jehovah heareth the needy, And despiseth not his prisoners.
because the LORD listens to the needy and doesn’t despise his captives.
O Lord, of those that humble are thou the desire didst hear; Thou wilt prepare their heart, and thou to hear wilt bend thine ear;
The prayer of the destitute he surely will regard; Their prayer will he not despise, by him it shall be heard.
That of the mournful prisoner the groanings he might hear, To set them free that unto death by men appointed are:
Such as shut up in darkness deep, and in death's shade abide, Whom strongly hath affliction bound, and irons fast have ty'd:
For poor oppress'd, and for the sighs of needy, rise will I, Saith God, and him in safety set from such as him defy.
Who righteous judgment executes for those oppress'd that be, Who to the hungry giveth food; God sets the pris'ners free.
All ends of th' earth remember shall, and turn the Lord unto; All kindreds of the nations to him shall homage do:
Extol the Lord with me, let us exalt his name together.
This poor man cry'd, God heard, and sav'd him from all his distresses.
God doth the solitary set in fam'lies: and from bands The chain'd doth free; but rebels do inhabit parched lands.
