Lexicon :: Strong's H6035 - ʿānāv

“They crowd the needy off the road;

The poor of the land all hide themselves.

For He who avenges blood [unjustly shed] remembers them (His people);

He does not forget the cry of the afflicted and abused.

For the poor will not always be forgotten,

Nor the hope of the burdened perish forever.

Arise, O LORD! O God, lift up Your hand [in judgment];

Do not forget the suffering.

O LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble and oppressed;

You will strengthen their heart, You will incline Your ear to hear,

The afflicted will eat and be satisfied;

Those who [diligently] seek Him and require Him [as their greatest need] will praise the LORD.

May your hearts live forever!

He leads the humble in justice,

And He teaches the humble His way.

My soul makes its boast in the LORD;

The humble and downtrodden will hear it and rejoice.

But the humble will [at last] inherit the land

And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity and peace.

The humble have seen it and are glad;

You who seek God [requiring Him as your greatest need], let your heart revive and live.

When God arose to [establish] judgment,

To save all the humble of the earth. Selah.

The LORD lifts up the humble;

He casts the wicked down to the ground.

For the LORD takes pleasure in His people;

He will beautify the humble with salvation.

Though He scoffs at the scoffers and scorns the scorners,

Yet He gives His grace [His undeserved favor] to the humble [those who give up self-importance].

He who despises his neighbor sins [against God and his fellow man],

But happy [blessed and favored by God] is he who is gracious and merciful to the poor.

It is better to be humble in spirit with the lowly

Than to divide the spoil with the proud (haughty, arrogant).

But with righteousness and justice He will judge the poor,

And decide with fairness for the downtrodden of the earth;

And He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,

And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.

The afflicted also will increase their joy in the LORD,

And the needy of mankind will rejoice and celebrate in the Holy One of Israel.

As for the rogue, his weapons are evil;

He conceives wicked plans

To ruin the poor with lies,

Even when the plea of the needy one is just and right.

The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me,

Because the LORD has anointed and commissioned me

To bring good news to the humble and afflicted;

He has sent me to bind up [the wounds of] the brokenhearted,

To proclaim release [from confinement and condemnation] to the [physical and spiritual] captives

And freedom to prisoners,

“These who pant after (long to see) the dust of the earth on the head of the helpless [as sign of their grief and distress]

Also turn aside the way of the humble;

And a man and his father will go to the same [fn]girl

So that My holy name is profaned.

Hear this, you who trample down the needy, and do away with the poor of the land,

Seek the LORD [search diligently for Him and regard Him as the foremost necessity of your life],

All you humble of the land

Who have practiced His ordinances and have kept His commandments;

Seek righteousness, seek humility [regard them as vital].

Perhaps you will be hidden [and pardoned and rescued]

In the day of the LORD’S anger.
