Psalms 86:1

For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.

Thou shalt not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of thy brethren, or of thy strangers that are in thy land within thy gates:

Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to decline after many to wrest judgment: speak: Heb. answer

Thou shalt not wrest the judgment of thy poor in his cause.

And Ephron dwelt among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the audience of the children of Heth, even of all that went in at the gate of his city, saying, audience: Heb. ears

The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.

They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.

Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
