Levite

“When you have finished paying all the tithe of your increase in the third year, the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the stranger, to the orphan and to the widow, that they may eat in your towns and be satisfied.

The Levite, because he has no portion or inheritance among you, and the alien, the orphan and the widow who are in your town, shall come and eat and be satisfied, in order that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hand which you do.

“When you reap your harvest in your field and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be for the alien, for the orphan, and for the widow, in order that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.

“If I have kept the poor from their desire,
Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

I have not

For I have kept the ways of the Lord,
And have not wickedly departed from my God.

A Psalm of David.

Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have walked in my integrity,

And I have trusted in the Lord

without wavering.

In view of this, I also do my best to maintain always a blameless conscience both before God and before men.

For our proud confidence is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and godly sincerity, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God, we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially toward you.

The God and Father of the Lord Jesus, He who is blessed forever, knows that I am not lying.

You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and uprightly and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers;

But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?

Forgotten

I will never forget Your precepts,
For by them You have

revived me.

My son, do not forget my teaching,
But let your heart keep my commandments;
