Psalm 109:31

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

For he shall stand at his right hand who is in poverty, To save him from all those that would condemn his soul to die.

See the chapter Copy

The Lord thee keeps, the Lord thy shade on thy right hand doth stay:

Before me still the Lord I set: sith it is so that he Doth ever stand at my right hand, I shall not moved be.

I know God will th' afflicted's cause maintain, and poor men's right.

The glorious and mighty Lord, that sits at thy right hand, Shall, in his day of wrath, strike through kings that do him withstand.

Nevertheless continually, O Lord, I am with thee: Thou dost me hold by my right hand, and still upholdest me.

The people's poor ones he shall judge, the needy's children save; And those shall he in pieces break who them oppressed have.

Because the Lord a father is unto the fatherless; God is the widow's judge, within his place of holiness.

Because he mercy minded not, but persecuted still The poor and needy, that he might the broken-hearted kill.

Thou hast it seen; for their mischief and spite thou wilt repay: The poor commits himself to thee; thou art the orphan's stay.
