'Downtrodden' in the Bible
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me,Because He anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor.He has sent Me to proclaim release to the captives,And recovery of sight to the blind,To set free those who are oppressed,
He will treat the poor fairly, and make right decisions for the downtrodden of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and order the wicked to be executed.
The downtrodden will again rejoice in the Lord; the poor among humankind will take delight in the Holy One of Israel.
My people who have been crushedon the threshing floor,I have declared to youwhat I have heard from the Lord of Hosts,the God of Israel.
The Lord lifts up the humble;He casts the wicked down to the ground.
Let not the oppressed return dishonored;Let the afflicted and needy praise Your name.
