¹⁵ But he keeps safe from their sword those who have no father, and the poor from the power of the strong.

¹⁰ All my bones will say, Lord, who is like you? The saviour of the poor man from the hands of the strong, of him who is poor and in need from him who takes his goods.

¹⁰ Though the noise of the lion and the sounding of his voice, may be loud, the teeth of the young lions are broken.

¹⁴ You have seen it; for your eyes are on sorrow and grief, to take it into your hand: the poor man puts his faith in you; you have been the helper of the child who has no father.

¹⁷ Lord, you have given ear to the prayer of the poor: you will make strong their hearts, you will give them a hearing:

⁴ May he be a judge of the poor among the people, may he give salvation to the children of those who are in need; by him let the violent be crushed.

⁴¹ But he puts the poor man on high from his troubles, and gives him families like a flock.

³¹ For he is ever at the right hand of the poor, to take him out of the hands of those who go after his soul.

¹² I am certain that the Lord will take care of the cause of the poor, and of the rights of those who are troubled.

¹² For he will be a saviour to the poor in answer to his cry; and to him who is in need, without a helper.

¹³ He will have pity on the poor, and be the saviour of those who are in need.
