'Poor and Needy' in the Bible
The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as are of upright deportment.
But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no delay, O my God.
But I am poor and needy: make haste to me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no delay.
He shall spare the poor and needy, and shall save the souls of the needy.
O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.
Deliver the poor and needy: deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
A Prayer of David. Bow down thy ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
Because that he remembered not to show mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
