For the needy is not always forgotten; Neither the expectancy of the poor lost forever.
He shall turn unto the prayer of the destitute, And He shall not despise their prayer.
To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To release those appointed to death,
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.”
Oh, that You would slay the wrong, O Eloah! Depart from me, therefore, men of bloodshed!
“Understand this please, you who forget Eloah, Lest I tear you in pieces, With no one to deliver:
For You are my expectation, Master יהוה, my Trust from my youth.
Let Him rightly rule the poor of the people, Save the children of the needy, And crush the oppressor.
For He remembers the seekers of bloodshed, He does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
For certain, there is a hereafter, And let your expectancy not be cut off.
Know that wisdom is thus to your being; If you have found it, there is a future, And your expectancy is not cut off.
“He has filled the hungry with good items, and the rich He has sent away empty.
And He, lifting up His eyes toward His taught ones, said, “Blessed are the poor, because yours is the reign of Elohim.
Listen, my beloved brothers: Has Elohim not chosen the poor of this world, rich in belief and heirs of the reign which He promised to those who love Him?
