Needy people will not always be forgotten. Nor will the hope of oppressed people be lost forever.
“Because oppressed people are robbed and needy people groan, I will now arise,” says the Lord. “I will provide safety for those who long for it.”
There is indeed a future, and your hope will never be cut off.
The knowledge of wisdom is like that for your soul. If you find it, then there is a future, and your hope will never be cut off.
Listen, my dear brothers and sisters! Didn’t God choose poor people in the world to become rich in faith and to receive the kingdom that he promised to those who love him?
He heard the groans of the prisoners and set free those who were condemned to death.
Jesus looked at his disciples and said, “Blessed are those who are poor. God’s kingdom is theirs.
He fed hungry people with good food. He sent rich people away with nothing.
because he stands beside needy people to save them from those who would condemn them to death.
He will turn his attention to the prayers of those who have been abandoned. He will not despise their prayers.
May he grant justice to the people who are oppressed. May he save the children of needy people and crush their oppressor.
You are my hope, O Almighty Lord. You have been my confidence ever since I was young.
The one who avenges murder has remembered oppressed people. He has never forgotten their cries.
Consider this, you people who forget God. Otherwise, I will tear you to pieces, and there will be no one left to rescue you.
I wish that you would kill wicked people, O God, and that bloodthirsty people would leave me alone.
