Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto you will I pray.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is pure wickedness; their throat is an open sepulcher; they flatter with their tongue.

For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.

The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are secretly set against the poor.

He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.

He crouches, and lies low, that the poor may fall by his strength.

You have seen it: for you behold mischief and spite, to repay it with your hand: the poor commits himself unto you; you are the helper of the fatherless.

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, says the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that sneers at him.

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tested in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

You have shamed the counsel of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge.

Like as a lion that is greedy of its prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.

With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the devious you will show yourself shrewd.

The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes.

For you meet him with the blessings of goodness: you set a crown of pure gold on his head.

Be exalted, LORD, in your own strength: so will we sing and praise your power.

Deliver my soul from the sword; my life from the power of the dog.

He that has clean hands, and a pure heart; who has not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.

The voice of the LORD makes the hinds to calve, and strips bare the forests: and in his temple does every one speak of his glory.

For this shall every one that is godly pray unto you in a time when you may be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come near unto him.

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

All my bones shall say, LORD, who is like unto you, who delivers the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that plunders him?

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright behavior.

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinks upon me: you are my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.

[To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.] Blessed is he that considers the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.

Both low and high, rich and poor, together.

But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

Slay them not, lest my people forget: scatter them by your power; and bring them down, O Lord our shield.

But I will sing of your power; yea, I will sing aloud of your mercy in the morning: for you have been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble.

Trust in him at all times; you people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

God has spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongs unto God.

To see your power and your glory, so as I have seen you in the sanctuary.

Who by his strength established the mountains; being girded with power:

Say unto God, How awesome are you in your works! through the greatness of your power shall your enemies submit themselves unto you.

He rules by his power forever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

Your congregation has dwelt therein: you, O God, have provided of your goodness for the poor.

O God, you are awesome out of your holy places: the God of Israel is he that gives strength and power unto his people. Blessed be God.

Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your wrathful anger take hold of them.

But I am poor and sorrowful: let your salvation, O God, set me up on high.

For the LORD hears the poor, and despises not his prisoners.

But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: you are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.

Now also when I am old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not; until I have showed your strength unto this generation, and your power to every one that is to come.

He shall judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice.

He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.

For he shall deliver the needy when he cries; the poor also, and him that has no helper.

He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.

O deliver not the soul of your turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of your poor forever.

O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise your name.

You are more glorious and excellent than the mountains of prey.

He caused an east wind to blow in the heaven: and by his power he brought in the south wind.

Pour out your wrath upon the nations that have not known you, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon your name.

Let the sighing of the prisoner come before you; according to the greatness of your power preserve you those that are appointed to die;

The boar out of the wood does waste it, and the wild beast of the field does devour it.

Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

[A Prayer of David.] Bow down your ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.

Remember, Lord, the reproach of your servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

Who knows the power of your anger? even according to your fear, so is your wrath.

They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.

Remember me, O LORD, with the favor that you bear unto your people: O visit me with your salvation;

Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

Yet sets he the poor on high from affliction, and makes their families like a flock.

Because he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

Your people shall be willing in the day of your power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: you have the dew of your youth.

He has shown his people the power of his works, that he may give them the heritage of the nations.

He has dispersed, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; his strength shall be exalted with honor.

He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the ash heap;

Let, I pray you, your merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to your word unto your servant.

Your word is very pure: therefore your servant loves it.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love you.

Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.

I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.

They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom, and talk of your power;

Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

Praise you the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
