I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and the right of the poor.
He shall judge the poor of the people, he shall save the children of the needy, and shall break in pieces the oppressor.
But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:
When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay...
But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
