How long will you a defend the unjust
and show partiality to the wicked?
Defend the weak and the fatherless;
uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.
Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

More quotes by David

None can hope in God but those who know his name.

The sayings of the Lord are pure; they are like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times.

Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, lead me in the way everlasting.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord’s word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him.
