Psalm 72:12

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

For he the needy shall preserve, when he to him doth call; The poor also, and him that hath no help of man at all.

See the chapter Copy

The prayer of the destitute he surely will regard; Their prayer will he not despise, by him it shall be heard.

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

That of the mournful prisoner the groanings he might hear, To set them free that unto death by men appointed are:

I'll pray, and make a noise At ev'ning, morning, and at noon; and he shall hear my voice.
