the Needy » Divine care for
"Now the poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried.
He lifts the weak from the dust; he raises the poor from the ash heap to seat them with princes and to bestow on them an honored position. The foundations of the earth belong to the Lord, and he has placed the world on them.
You have taken notice, for you always see one who inflicts pain and suffering. The unfortunate victim entrusts his cause to you; you deliver the fatherless.
If you see the extortion of the poor, or the perversion of justice and fairness in the government, do not be astonished by the matter. For the high official is watched by a higher official, and there are higher ones over them!
With all my strength I will say, "O Lord, who can compare to you? You rescue the oppressed from those who try to overpower them; the oppressed and needy from those who try to rob them."
Sing to the Lord! Praise the Lord! For he rescues the oppressed from the clutches of evildoers.

He delivers the afflicted by their afflictions, he reveals himself to them by their suffering.
