But I will have pity on the nation of Judah. I will deliver them by the Lord their God; I will not deliver them by the warrior’s bow, by sword, by military victory, by chariot horses, or by chariots.”

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

They cry out, but there is no one to help them; they cry out to the Lord, but he does not answer them.

When people are brought low and you say ‘Lift them up!’ then he will save the downcast;

“How you have helped the powerless! How you have saved the person who has no strength!

Then I myself will acknowledge to you that your own right hand can save you.

Relent, Lord, rescue me! Deliver me because of your faithfulness!

The Exalted God is my shield, the one who delivers the morally upright.

I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I was delivered from my enemies.

They cry out, but there is no one to help them; they cry out to the Lord, but he does not answer them.

The Lord will deliver the king; he will answer us when we call to him for help!

Rescue me from the mouth of the lion, and from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered me!

Smile on your servant! Deliver me because of your faithfulness!

For I do not trust in my bow, and I do not prevail by my sword.

As for me, I will call out to God, and the Lord will deliver me.

Deliver me from evildoers! Rescue me from violent men!

Deliver by your power and answer me, so that the ones you love may be safe.

Vindicate me by rescuing me! Listen to me! Deliver me!

He will defend the oppressed among the people; he will deliver the children of the poor and crush the oppressor.

He will take pity on the poor and needy; the lives of the needy he will save.
