'Poor and Needy' in the Bible

The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bowTo cast down the afflicted and the needy,To slaughter those who are upright in conduct [those with personal integrity and godly character].

Even though I am afflicted and needy,Still the Lord takes thought and is mindful of me.You are my help and my rescuer.O my God, do not delay.

Your flock found a dwelling place in it;O God, in Your goodness You provided for the poor.

For the Lord hears the needyAnd does not despise His who are prisoners.

But I am afflicted and needy;Come quickly to me, O God!You are my help and my rescuer;O Lord, do not delay.

Rescue the weak and needy;Rescue them from the hand of the wicked.

Yet He sets the needy securely on high, away from affliction,And makes their families like a flock.

Because the man did not remember to show kindness,But persecuted the suffering and needy man,And the brokenhearted, to put them to death.

For I am suffering and needy,And my heart is wounded within me.

For He will stand at the right hand of the needy,To save him from those who judge his soul.

He has given freely to the poor;His righteousness endures forever;His horn will be exalted in honor.

I know [with confidence] that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted,And [will secure] justice for the poor.
