'Needy' in the Bible

He saves the needy from their sharp wordsand from the clutches of the powerful.

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

"They snatch [the] orphan from [the] breast, and they take a pledge against [the] needy.

“They cause the poor to go about naked without clothing,And they take away the sheaves [of grain] from the hungry.

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

because I saved [the] needy who cried for help, and [I saved] [the] orphan for whom [there was] no helper.

I was a father to the needy,and I examined the case of the stranger.

"Surely he won't stretch his hand against the needy, will he, especially if they cry to him in their calamity?

Have I not wept for those who have fallen on hard times?Has my soul not grieved for the needy?

“If I have withheld from the poor what they desired,Or have caused the eyes of the widow to look in vain [for relief],

if I have seen anyone dying for lack of clothingor a needy person without a cloak,

so that they caused the cry of the poor to come before him, so that he hears the cry of the needy.

“He does not prolong the life of the wicked,But gives the afflicted their justice.
