... keep the needy safe

“Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan

I will arise, says the Lord.

I will protect them from those who malign them.”

And the words of the Lord are flawless,

like silver purified in a crucible,

like gold refined seven times.

You, Lord, will keep the needy safe

and will protect us forever from the wicked,

who freely strut about

when what is vile is honored by the human race. “

Psalm 12 : 5 – 8 ( NIV)
