May he show the humble what is right! May he teach the humble his way!

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 oppressed look on – let them rejoice! You who seek God, may you be encouraged!

The Lord lifts up the oppressed, but knocks the wicked to the ground.

For the Lord takes delight in his people; he exalts the oppressed by delivering them.

for the needy are not permanently ignored, the hopes of the oppressed are not forever dashed.

Let the oppressed eat and be filled! Let those who seek his help praise the Lord! May you live forever!

when God arose to execute judgment, and to deliver all the oppressed of the earth. (Selah)
