15 Bible Verses about God And The Poor

Who shows no partiality to princes
Nor regards the rich above the poor,
For they all are the work of His hands?

For the needy will not always be forgotten,
Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.

For the Lord hears the needy
And does not despise His who are prisoners.

“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.

I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted
And justice for the poor.

“He delivers the afflicted in their affliction,
And opens their ear in time of oppression.

All my bones will say, “Lord, who is like You,
Who delivers the afflicted from him who is too strong for him,
And the afflicted and the needy from him who robs him?”

“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.”

For He stands at the right hand of the needy,
To save him from those who judge his soul.

“He raises the poor from the dust,
He lifts the needy from the ash heap
To make them sit with nobles,
And inherit a seat of honor;
For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s,
And He set the world on them.

But He sets the needy securely on high away from affliction,
And makes his families like a flock.

Your creatures settled in it;
You provided in Your goodness for the poor, O God.

Who executes justice for the oppressed;
Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free.

He has regarded the prayer of the destitute
And has not despised their prayer.

You would put to shame the counsel of the afflicted,
But the Lord is his refuge.
