Lord, you have heard the request of the oppressed; you make them feel secure because you listen to their prayer.

I will boast in the Lord; let the oppressed hear and rejoice!

But the oppressed will possess the land and enjoy great prosperity.

The downtrodden will again rejoice in the Lord; the poor among humankind will take delight in the Holy One of Israel.

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.
