'Needy' in the Bible

For the poor will not always be forgotten,Nor the hope of the burdened perish forever.

“Because of the devastation of the afflicted, because of the groaning of the needy,Now I will arise,” says the Lord; “I will place him in the safety for which he longs.”

All my bones will say, “Lord, who is like You,Who rescues the afflicted from him who is too strong for him [to resist alone],And the afflicted and the needy from him who robs him?”

The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bowTo cast down the afflicted and the needy,To slaughter those who are upright in conduct [those with personal integrity and godly character].

Even though I am afflicted and needy,Still the Lord takes thought and is mindful of me.You are my help and my rescuer.O my God, do not delay.

Your flock found a dwelling place in it;O God, in Your goodness You provided for the poor.

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

But I am afflicted and needy;Come quickly to me, O God!You are my help and my rescuer;O Lord, do not delay.

May he bring justice to the poor among the people,Save the children of the needyAnd crush the oppressor,

For he will rescue the needy when he cries for help,The afflicted and abused also, and him who has no helper.

He will have compassion on the poor and needy,And he will save the lives of the needy.

Let not the oppressed return dishonored;Let the afflicted and needy praise Your name.

Vindicate the weak and fatherless;Do justice and maintain the rights of the afflicted and destitute.

Rescue the weak and needy;Rescue them from the hand of the wicked.

Incline Your ear, O Lord, and answer me,For I am distressed and needy [I long for Your help].

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

Because the man did not remember to show kindness,But persecuted the suffering and needy man,And the brokenhearted, to put them to death.

For I am suffering and needy,And my heart is wounded within me.

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

He has given freely to the poor;His righteousness endures forever;His horn will be exalted in honor.

He raises the poor out of the dustAnd lifts the needy from the ash heap,

I know [with confidence] that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted,And [will secure] justice for the poor.
