And it came to pass in process of time, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.

So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

For thou {art} the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;

Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly {to them}.

He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.

And the LORD said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which {are} in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

[To the chief Musician upon Jonathelemrechokim, Michtam of David, when the Philistines took him in Gath.] Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me. {Michtam...: or, A golden Psalm of David}

And there was a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.

For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set {him} in safety {from him that} puffeth at him. {puffeth...: or, would ensnare him}

Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil {man}: seek out his wickedness {till} thou find none.

Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.

Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

And they have not cried unto me with their heart, when they howled upon their beds: they assemble themselves for corn and wine, {and} they rebel against me.

So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of {such as were} oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors {there was} power; but they had no comforter. {side: Heb. hand}

At his day thou shalt give {him} his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he {is} poor, and setteth his heart upon it: lest he cry against thee unto the LORD, and it be sin unto thee. {setteth...: Heb. lifteth his soul unto it}

Because he hath oppressed {and} hath forsaken the poor; {because} he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not; {oppressed: Heb. crushed}

If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry;

I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.

But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.

Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, {even} the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea. {fires: or, valleys}

He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
