Psalms 103:6

⁵“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”

⁹The LORD will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.

⁷who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. The LORD frees the prisoners.

¹²For he will deliver the needy when he cries; the poor, who has no helper.

³¹He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for his Maker, but he who is kind to the needy honors him.

³¹For he will stand at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those who judge his soul.

⁶But you have dishonored the poor man. Don’t the rich oppress you and personally drag you before the courts?

¹⁴You shall not oppress a hired servant who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or one of the foreigners who are in your land within your gates. ¹⁵In his day you shall give him his wages, neither shall the sun go down on it, for he is poor and sets his heart on it, lest he cry against you to the LORD, and it be sin to you.

²²Don’t exploit the poor because he is poor; and don’t crush the needy in court; ²³for the LORD will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them.

¹Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand. ²They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage. ³Therefore the LORD says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
