Psalms 82:4

For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.

for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.

Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!

then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

then hear their prayer and their supplication in heaven, your dwelling place, and maintain their cause;

Whoever stops his ears at the cry of the poor, he will also cry out, but shall not be heard.

Therefore Yahweh says: “Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you. I will dry up her sea, and make her fountain dry.

He executes justice for the fatherless and widow and loves the foreigner in giving him food and clothing.

Because I delivered the poor who cried, and the fatherless also, who had no one to help him,

He doesn’t preserve the life of the wicked, but gives justice to the afflicted.

A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.

If you take advantage of them at all, and they cry at all to me, I will surely hear their cry;

You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep go astray and hide yourself from them. You shall surely bring them again to your brother.

You will save the afflicted people, But your eyes are on the arrogant, that you may bring them down.

But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.

Yes, you would even cast lots for the fatherless, and make merchandise of your friend.

They turn the needy out of the way. The poor of the earth all hide themselves.

I broke the jaws of the unrighteous and plucked the prey out of his teeth.

or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it

if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate,

Hear, Yahweh, my righteous plea; Give ear to my prayer, that doesn’t go out of deceitful lips.

For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted, Neither has he hidden his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.

All my bones shall say, “Yahweh, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”

He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.

Hear, Yahweh, and answer me, for I am poor and needy.

He has responded to the prayer of the destitute, and has not despised their prayer.

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

Don’t exploit the poor, because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court;

Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.”

but he will judge the poor with righteousness, and decide with equity for the humble of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips he will kill the wicked.

He judged the cause of the poor and needy; so it was well, then. Wasn’t this to know me?” says Yahweh.

They will fall among those who are slain by the sword. She is delivered to the sword. Draw her away with all her multitudes.

Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said this to him: “I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah who will make known to the king the interpretation.”

Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, “Bring us drinks!”

Hear this, you who desire to swallow up the needy, and cause the poor of the land to fail,

the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgment seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.

When a great argument arose, the commanding officer, fearing that Paul would be torn in pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.

You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him.

that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.

Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.
