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.

“The afflicted and needy are seeking water, but there is none,
And their tongue is parched with thirst;
I, the Lord, will answer them Myself,
As the God of Israel I will not forsake them.
For the Lord hears the needy
And does not despise His who are prisoners.

Who executes justice for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free.
Let the groaning of the prisoner come before You;
According to the greatness of Your power preserve those who are doomed to die.
For He looked down from His holy height; From heaven the LORD gazed upon the earth, To hear the groaning of the prisoner, To set free those who were doomed to death,
