Lexicon :: Strong's G3993 - penēs

“You shall not pervert ^H5186 the justice ^H4941 due to your needy ^H34 brother in his dispute ^H7379.

“You shall not exploit ^H6231 a hired ^H7916 worker ^H7916 who is poor ^H6041 and needy ^H34, whether ^H4480 he is one of your countrymen ^H251 or ^H176 one of your strangers ^H1616 who ^H834 are in your land ^H776 in your [fn]towns ^H8179.

“He raises ^H6965 the poor ^H1800 from the dust ^H6083,

He lifts ^H7311 the needy ^H34 from the garbage ^H830 heap ^H6083

To seat ^H3427 them with nobles ^H5081,

And He gives ^H5157 them a seat ^H3678 of honor ^H3519 as ^H5157 an ^H5157 inheritance ^H5157;

For the pillars ^H4690 of the earth ^H776 are the LORD’S ^H3068,

And He set ^H7896 the world ^H8398 on them.

Then the LORD ^H3068 sent ^H7971 Nathan ^H5416 to David ^H1732. And he came ^H935 to him and [fn]said ^H559,

“There were two ^H8147 men ^H376 in a city ^H5892, the one ^H259 wealthy ^H6223 and the other ^H259 poor ^H7326.

“But the poor ^H7326 man had nothing ^H369 at all ^H3605 except ^H3588 H518 one ^H259 little ^H6996 ewe ^H3535 lamb ^H3535

Which ^H834 he bought ^H7069 and nurtured ^H2421;

And it grew ^H1431 up ^H1431 together ^H3162 with him and his children ^H1121.

It would eat ^H398 [fn]scraps ^H6595 from him and drink ^H8354 from his cup ^H3563 and lie ^H7901 [fn]in his lap ^H2436,

And was like a daughter ^H1323 to him.

So that they caused the cry ^H6818 of the poor ^H1800 to come ^H935 to Him,

And that He would hear ^H8085 the cry ^H6818 of the afflicted ^H6041—

[fn]The LORD ^H3068 will also be a stronghold ^H4869 for the oppressed ^H1790,

A stronghold ^H4869 in times ^H6256 of trouble ^H6869;

For He who [fn]requires ^H1875 blood ^H1818 remembers ^H2142 them;

He does not forget ^H7911 the cry ^H6818 of the needy ^H6035.

For the needy ^H34 will not always ^H5331 be forgotten ^H7911,

Nor the hope ^H8615 of the afflicted ^H6041 perish ^H6 forever ^H5703.

He sits ^H3427 in the lurking ^H3993 places ^H3993 of the villages ^H2691;

He kills ^H2026 the innocent ^H5355 in the secret ^H4565 places ^H4565;

His eyes ^H5869 [fn]surreptitiously ^H6845 watch ^H6845 for the [fn]unfortunate ^H2489.

Then he crushes ^H1794 the needy one, who cowers ^H7817;

And [fn]unfortunate ^H2489 people ^H2489 fall ^H5307 by his mighty ^H6099 power.

Arise ^H6965, LORD ^H3068; God ^H410, lift ^H5375 up ^H5375 Your hand ^H3027.

Do not forget ^H7911 the humble ^H6035.

LORD ^H3068, You have heard ^H8085 the desire ^H8378 of the humble ^H6035;

You will strengthen ^H3559 their heart ^H3820, You will make ^H7181 Your ear ^H241 attentive ^H7181

The LORD ^H3068 is in His holy ^H6944 temple ^H1964; the [fn]LORD’S ^H3068 throne ^H3678 is in heaven ^H8064;

His eyes ^H5869 see ^H2372, His eyelids ^H6079 test ^H974 the sons ^H1121 of mankind ^H120.

“Because ^H4480 of the devastation ^H7701 of the poor ^H6041, because ^H4480 of the groaning ^H603 of the needy ^H34,

Now ^H6258 I will arise ^H6965,” says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068; “I will put ^H7896 him in the safety ^H3468 for which he longs ^H6315.”

The [fn]afflicted ^H6035 will eat ^H398 and be ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646;

Those who seek ^H1875 Him will praise ^H1984 the LORD ^H3068.

May your heart ^H3824 live ^H2421 forever ^H5703!

All ^H3605 my bones ^H6106 will say ^H559, “LORD ^H3068, who ^H4310 is like ^H3644 You,

Who rescues ^H5337 the afflicted ^H6041 from one who is too ^H4480 strong ^H2389 for him,

And the afflicted ^H6041 and the poor ^H34 from one who robs ^H1497 him?”

The wicked ^H7563 have drawn ^H6605 the sword ^H2719 and bent ^H1869 their bow ^H7198

To take ^H5307 down ^H5307 the afflicted ^H6041 and the needy ^H34,

To kill ^H2873 off ^H2873 those who are upright ^H3477 in conduct ^H1870.

But I am afflicted ^H6041 and needy ^H34;

May the Lord ^H136 be ^H2803 mindful ^H2803 of me.

You are my help ^H5833 and my savior ^H6403;

Do not delay ^H309, my God ^H430.

For the music director. A Psalm of David.

Blessed ^H835 is one who considers ^H7919 the [fn]helpless ^H1800;

The LORD ^H3068 will save ^H4422 him on a day ^H3117 of [fn]trouble ^H7451.

Both ^H1571 low ^H1121 H120 and high ^H1121 H376,

Rich ^H6223 and poor ^H34 together ^H3162.

For the LORD ^H3068 hears ^H8085 the needy ^H34,

And does not despise ^H959 those of His who are prisoners ^H615.

But I am afflicted ^H6041 and needy ^H34;

Hurry ^H2363 to me, God ^H430!

You are my help ^H5828 and my savior ^H6403;

LORD ^H3068, do not delay ^H309.

[fn]May he vindicate ^H8199 the [fn]afflicted ^H6041 of the people ^H5971,

Save ^H3467 the children ^H1121 of the needy ^H34,

And crush ^H1792 the oppressor ^H6231.

For he will save ^H5337 the needy ^H34 when he cries ^H7768 for ^H7768 help ^H7768,

The [fn]afflicted ^H6041 also, and him who has ^H369 no ^H369 helper ^H5826.

Do not give ^H5414 the soul ^H5315 of Your turtledove ^H8449 to the wild ^H2416 animal ^H2416;

Do not forget ^H7911 the life ^H2416 of Your afflicted ^H6041 forever ^H5331.

May the oppressed ^H1790 person ^H1790 not return ^H7725 dishonored ^H3637;

May the afflicted ^H6041 and the needy ^H34 praise ^H1984 Your name ^H8034.

Vindicate ^H8199 the weak ^H1800 and fatherless ^H3490;

Do ^H6663 justice ^H6663 to the afflicted ^H6041 and destitute ^H7326.

A Prayer of David.

Incline ^H5186 Your ear ^H241, LORD ^H3068, and answer ^H6030 me;

For I am afflicted ^H6041 and needy ^H34.

But He sets ^H7682 the needy ^H34 [fn]securely ^H7682 on ^H7682 high ^H7682, away from affliction ^H6040,

And makes ^H7760 his families ^H4940 like a flock ^H6629.

Because ^H3282 he did not remember ^H2142 to show ^H6213 mercy ^H2617,

But persecuted ^H7291 the afflicted ^H6041 and needy ^H34 person ^H376,

And the despondent ^H3512 in heart ^H3824, to put ^H4191 them to ^H4191 death ^H4191.

For I am afflicted ^H6041 and needy ^H34,

And [fn]my heart ^H3820 is wounded ^H2490 within ^H7130 me.

For He stands ^H5975 at the right ^H3225 hand ^H3225 of the needy ^H34,

To save ^H3467 him from those who judge ^H8199 his soul ^H5315.

[fn]He has given ^H5414 freely ^H6340 to the poor ^H34,

His righteousness ^H6666 endures ^H5975 forever ^H5703;

His horn ^H7161 will be exalted ^H7311 in honor ^H3519.

He raises ^H6965 the poor ^H1800 from the dust ^H6083,

He lifts ^H7311 the needy ^H34 from the garbage ^H830 heap ^H6083,

I know ^H3045 that the LORD ^H3068 will maintain ^H6213 the cause ^H1779 of the afflicted ^H6031,

And justice ^H4941 for the poor ^H34.

One who despises ^H936 his neighbor ^H7453 sins ^H2398,

But one who is gracious ^H2603 to the [fn]poor ^H6035 is blessed ^H835.

One who oppresses ^H6231 the poor ^H1800 taunts ^H2778 his Maker ^H6213,

But one who is gracious ^H2603 to the needy ^H34 honors ^H3513 Him.

One who oppresses ^H6231 the poor ^H1800 to make ^H7235 [fn]more ^H7235 for himself,

Or gives ^H5414 to the rich ^H6223, will only ^H389 come to poverty ^H4270.

Do not rob ^H1497 the poor ^H1800 because ^H3588 he is poor ^H1800,

Nor ^H408 crush ^H1792 the needy ^H6041 at the gate ^H8179;

Do not weary ^H3021 yourself to gain ^H6238 wealth ^H6238;

[fn]Stop ^H2308 dwelling ^H998 on it.

The rich ^H6223 person ^H376 is wise ^H2450 in his own eyes ^H5869,

But the poor ^H1800 who has ^H995 understanding ^H995 [fn]sees ^H2713 through ^H2713 him.

There is a [fn]kind ^H1755 of person whose teeth ^H8127 are like swords ^H2719

And his jaw ^H4973 teeth ^H4973 like knives ^H3979,

To devour ^H398 the poor ^H6041 from the earth ^H776

And the needy ^H34 from among mankind ^H120.

Open ^H6605 your mouth ^H6310, judge ^H8199 righteously ^H6664,

And [fn]defend ^H1777 the ^H1777 rights ^H1777 of the poor ^H6041 and needy ^H34.
