'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 be of upright conversation.
But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
But I am poor and needy: make haste unto me, O God: thou art my help and my deliverer; O LORD, make no tarrying.
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: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
{A Prayer of David.} Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy.
Because that he remembered not to shew 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.
