'Poor and Needy' in the Bible
All my bones say, 'Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'
A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.
And I am poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My help and my deliverer art Thou, O my God, tarry Thou not.
And I am poor and needy, O God, haste to me, My help and my deliverer art Thou, O Jehovah, tarry Thou not!
He hath pity on the poor and needy, And the souls of the needy he saveth,
Let not the oppressed turn back ashamed, Let the poor and needy praise Thy name,
A Prayer of David. Incline, O Jehovah, Thine ear, Answer me, for I am poor and needy.
For I am poor and needy, And my heart hath been pierced in my midst.
