God’s chosen people cry out to him day and night. Won’t he make things right for them? Will he keep putting them off?

When I was in trouble, I called out to the Lord. I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice. My cry for help reached his ears.

They caused poor people to cry out to him. He heard the cries of those who were in need.

You have even failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields. Their pay is crying out against you. The cries of those who gathered the harvest have reached the ears of the Lord. He rules over all.

“ People cry out when they are treated badly. They beg to be set free from the power of those who are over them.

Be careful not to have an evil thought in your mind. Don’t say to yourself,“ The seventh year will soon be here. It’s the year for forgiving people what they owe.” If you think like that, you might treat the needy people among you badly. You might not give them anything. Then they might make their appeal to the Lord against you. And he will find you guilty of sin.

Lord, you hear the desires of those who are hurting. You cheer them up and give them hope. You listen to their cries.You stand up for those whose fathers have died and for those who have been treated badly. You do it so that mere human beings made of dust may not terrify others anymore.

He satisfies the needs of those who have respect for him. He hears their cry and saves them.

He stands up for those who are treated badly. He gives food to hungry people. The Lord sets prisoners free.The Lord gives sight to those who are blind. The Lord lifts up those who feel helpless. The Lord loves those who do what is right.The Lord watches over the outsiders who live in our land. He takes good care of children whose fathers have died. He also takes good care of widows. But he causes evil people to fail in everything they do.

I know that the Lord makes sure that poor people are treated fairly. He stands up for those who are in need.

“ Suppose my land cries out against me. And all its soil is wet with tears.Suppose I’ve used up its crops without paying for them. Or I’ve broken the spirit of its renters.

Don’t move old boundary stones. Don’t try to take over the fields of children whose fathers have died.That’s because the God who guards them is strong. He will stand up for them in court against you.

Don’t take advantage of poor people just because they are poor. Don’t treat badly those who are in need by taking them to court.The Lord will stand up for them in court. He will require the lives of people who have taken the lives of those in need.

Give them their pay every day. They are poor and are counting on it. If you don’t pay them, they might cry out to the Lord against you. Then you will be guilty of committing a sin.
