He lies in ambush in a hidden place, like a lion in a thicket; he lies in ambush, waiting to catch the oppressed; he catches the oppressed by pulling in his net.

The fatherless child is snatched from the breast, the infant of the poor is taken as a pledge.

He does not allow the wicked to live, but he gives justice to the poor.

He delivers the afflicted by their afflictions, he reveals himself to them by their suffering.

You want to humiliate the oppressed, even though the Lord is their shelter.

Then he will judge your people fairly, and your oppressed ones equitably.

Defend the cause of the poor and the fatherless! Vindicate the oppressed and suffering!

The one who despises his neighbor sins, but whoever is kind to the needy is blessed.

She extends her hand to the poor, and reaches out her hand to the needy.

It is trampled underfoot by the feet of the oppressed, by the soles of the poor.”

With all my strength I will say, “O Lord, who can compare to you? You rescue the oppressed from those who try to overpower them; the oppressed and needy from those who try to rob them.”

If the person is poor you may not use what he gives you as security for a covering.

You deliver oppressed people, but you watch the proud and bring them down.

for I rescued the poor who cried out for help, and the orphan who had no one to assist him;

so that they caused the cry of the poor to come before him, so that he hears the cry of the needy.

The wicked arrogantly chase the oppressed; the oppressed are trapped by the schemes the wicked have dreamed up.

Rise up, Lord! O God, strike him down! Do not forget the oppressed!

Turn toward me and have mercy on me, for I am alone and oppressed!

for you live among them. You sustain the oppressed with your good blessings, O God.

I am oppressed and suffering! O God, deliver and protect me!
