The Lord does what is right and fair for all who are wronged by others.
He defends the helpless and saves them from those who accuse them.
But the Lord says, “I will now rise up, because the poor are being hurt. Because of the moans of the helpless, I will give them the help they want.”
He does what is fair for those who have been wronged. He gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets the prisoners free.
Even my bones will say, “Lord, who is like you? You save the weak from the strong, the weak and poor from robbers.”
He will help the poor when they cry out and will save the needy when no one else will help.
Help him be fair to the poor and save the needy and punish those who hurt them.
The Lord defends those who suffer; he defends them in times of trouble.
Whoever mistreats the poor insults their Maker, but whoever is kind to the needy honors God.
Don’t move an old stone that marks a border, and don’t take fields that belong to orphans.
The people in you hate their fathers and mothers. They mistreat the foreigners in you and wrong the orphans and widows in you.
Later the servant said to him, ‘Master, I did what you commanded, but we still have room.’
But you show no respect to the poor. The rich are always trying to control your lives. They are the ones who take you to court.
