“Because the poor are plundered and the needy groan,
    I will now arise,” says the LORD.
    “I will protect them from those who malign them.”
And the words of the LORD are flawless,
    like silver purified in a crucible,
    like gold refined seven times.

You, LORD, will keep the needy safe
and will protect us forever from the wicked,
who freely strut about
when what is vile is honored by the human race.

(Psalm 12:5-8, NIV)
