17 But I am helpless and poor;

May Jehovah pay attention to me.

You are my helper and my rescuer;+

My God, do not delay.+

22 Do not rob the poor man because he is poor,+

And do not crush the lowly man in the city gate,+

23 For Jehovah himself will plead their cause+

And he will take the life* of those who defraud them.
