The poor

Then will the King say to those on his right, Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, into the kingdom made ready for you before the world was:

In all things I was an example to you of how, in your lives, you are to give help to the feeble, and keep in memory the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, There is a greater blessing in giving than in getting.

And our desire is that you will keep control over those whose lives are not well ordered, giving comfort to the feeble-hearted, supporting those with little strength, and putting up with much from all.

Lord

Great are the troubles of the upright: but the Lord takes him safely out of them all.

All the day he is ready to have mercy and to give; his children are a blessing.

For God is true, and will not put away from him the memory of your work and of your love for his name, in the help which you gave and still give to the saints.

For the man who has had no mercy will be judged without mercy, but mercy takes pride in overcoming judging.

Time of trouble

They will not be shamed in the evil time, and in the days when all are in need of food they will have enough.

The wrath of the king is like those who give news of death, but a wise man will put peace in place of it.

Let your mind be turned to your Maker in the days of your strength, while the evil days come not, and the years are far away when you will say, I have no pleasure in them;

Because you have kept my word in quiet strength, I will keep you from the hour of testing which is coming on all the world, to put to the test those who are on earth.

General references

And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain at the edges of the field be cut, and do not take up the grain which has been dropped in the field; let that be for the poor, and for the man from another country: I am the Lord your God.
