You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,
But the Lord is his refuge.
So I said, “Wisdom is better than strength.” But the wisdom of the poor man is despised and his words are not heeded.
I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted
And justice for the poor.
But with righteousness He will judge the poor,
And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth;
And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,
But the Lord is his refuge.
“Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy,
Now I will arise,” says the Lord; “I will set him in the safety for which he longs.”
Your creatures settled in it;
You provided in Your goodness for the poor, O God.
For the Lord hears the needy
And does not despise His who are prisoners.
For He stands at the right hand of the needy,
To save him from those who judge his soul.

For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper. He will have compassion on the poor and needy, And the lives of the needy he will save. He will rescue their life from oppression and violence, And their blood will be precious in his sight;
