Psalms 18:27

"For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word."

"Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?"

"For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones."

"And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down."

"Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer."

"For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever."

"The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves."

"For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich."

"Arise, O LORD, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword: disappoint...: Heb. prevent his face"

"Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all."
