יהוה is doing righteousness And right-ruling for all the oppressed.
For He stands at the right hand of the poor, To save from those judging his being.
“Because of the oppression of the poor, because of the sighing of the needy, I now arise,” says יהוה, “I set in safety – he pants for it.”
Doing right-ruling for the oppressed, Giving bread to the hungry. יהוה releases those who are bound,
Let all my bones say, “יהוה, who is like You, Delivering the poor from one stronger than he, And the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”
For He delivers the needy when he cries, And the poor, who has no helper.
Let Him rightly rule the poor of the people, Save the children of the needy, And crush the oppressor.
And יהוה is a refuge for the crushed one, A refuge in times of distress.
He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, But he who esteems Him shows favour to the needy.
Do not move the ancient boundary, And do not enter the fields of the fatherless;
“They have despised father and mother within you. They have oppressed the stranger in your midst. They have wronged the fatherless and the widow within you.
“And the servant said, ‘Master, it is done as you commanded, and still there is room.’
But you have shown disrespect towards the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you and drag you into the courts?
