Psalm 72:4

‘You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like a potter’s vessel.’”

For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help, The afflicted also, and him who has no helper.

If a king judges the poor with truth, His throne will be established forever.

Behold, a king will reign righteously And princes will rule justly.

“A crushed reed He will not break And a faintly burning wick He will not extinguish; He will bring forth justice in truth.

‘Thus says Yahweh, “Do justice and righteousness, and deliver the one who has been robbed from the power of his oppressor. Also do not mistreat or do violence to the sojourner, the orphan, or the widow; and do not shed innocent blood in this place.

“He pled the cause of the afflicted and needy; Then it was well. Is not that what it means to know Me?” Declares Yahweh.

‘In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch of David to branch forth; and He shall do justice and righteousness on the earth.

and do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the sojourner or the afflicted; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.’
