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

He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself to thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

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

For thou hast met him with the blessings of goodness: thou hast set a crown of pure gold on his head.

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

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

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

For this shall every one that is godly pray to thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh to 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 thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, even the poor and the needy from him that spoileth 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 are of upright deportment.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the time of trouble.

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

God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth to God.

To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.

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

Say to God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thy enemies submit themselves to thee.

He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O God, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.

O God, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the God of Israel is he that giveth strength and power to his people. Blessed be God.

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

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

He shall judge thy people with righteousness, and thy poor with judgment.

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

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

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

Deliver the poor and needy: deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

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

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

Who knoweth the power of thy anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

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