Psalm 12:5

“Beware lest there be a vile thought in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of the remission of debts, is near,’ and your eye is hostile toward your needy brother, and you give him nothing; then he may cry to Yahweh against you, and it will be a sin in you.

For the needy will not always be forgotten, Nor the hope of the afflicted perish forever.

For the choir director. A Psalm of David. A Song. Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered, And let those who hate Him flee before Him.

For Yahweh hears the needy And does not despise His who are prisoners.

Arise, O God, judge the earth! For it is You who will inherit all the nations.

You will arise and have compassion on Zion— For it is time to be gracious to it, For the appointed time has come.

Yahweh performs righteous deeds And judgments for all who are oppressed.

Uphold me that I may be saved, That I may have regard for Your statutes continually.

I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause for the afflicted And judgment for the needy.

For Yahweh will plead their case And rob the soul of those who rob them.

Then I looked again at all the acts of oppression which were being done under the sun. And behold, I saw the tears of the oppressed and that they had no one to comfort them; and on the side of their oppressors was power, but they had no one to comfort them.

“Now I will be on high,” says Yahweh, “Now I will be lifted up, now I will be lifted up.
