'Help' in the Bible
“Is it that I have no help within myself,And that success and wisdom have been driven from me?
“Behold, I cry out, ‘Violence!’ but I am not heard;I shout for help, but there is no justice.
“From the [populous and crowded] city men groan,And the souls of the wounded cry out for help;Yet God [seemingly] does not pay attention to the wrong [done to them].
Because I rescued the poor who cried for help,And the orphan who had no helper.
“However, does not one falling in a heap of ruins stretch out his hand?Or in his disaster [will he not] therefore cry out for help?
“I go about mourning without comfort [my skin blackened by disease, not by the heat of the sun];I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help.
If I have lifted my hand against the orphan,Because I saw [that the judges would be] my help at the [council] gate,
“When He keeps quiet, who then can condemn?When He hides His face [withdrawing His favor and help], who then can behold Him [and make supplication to Him],Whether it be a nation or a man by himself?—
“Because of the multitudes of oppressions the people cry out;They cry for help because of the [violent] arm of the mighty.
