Their enemies oppressed them; they were subject to their authority. ¹ 

I had faith when I said, “I am severely oppressed.”

The wicked arrogantly chase the oppressed; ¹  the oppressed are trapped ²  by the schemes the wicked have dreamed up. ³ 

But the Egyptians mistreated and oppressed us, forcing us to do burdensome labor.

You deliver oppressed ¹  people, but you watch the proud and bring them down. ² 

Now King Hazael of Syria oppressed Israel throughout Jehoahaz’s reign. ¹ 

Consequently ¹  the Lord provides safety for the oppressed; ²  he provides safety in times of trouble. ³ 

for the needy are not permanently ignored, ¹  the hopes of the oppressed are not forever dashed. ² 

Rise up, Lord! ¹  O God, strike him down! ²  Do not forget the oppressed!

You defend ¹  the fatherless and oppressed, ²  so that mere mortals may no longer terrorize them. ³ 

You want to humiliate the oppressed, ¹  even though ²  the Lord is their ³  shelter.

For you deliver oppressed ¹  people, but you bring down those who have a proud look. ² 

Turn toward me and have mercy on me, for I am alone ¹  and oppressed!

I will boast ¹  in the Lord; let the oppressed hear and rejoice! ² 

This oppressed man cried out and the Lord heard; he saved him ¹  from all his troubles.

But the oppressed will possess the land and enjoy great prosperity. ¹ 

Why do you look the other way, ¹  and ignore ²  the way we are oppressed and mistreated? ³ 

for you live among them. ¹  You sustain the oppressed with your good blessings, O God.

I am oppressed and suffering! O God, deliver and protect me! ¹ 

The oppressed look on – let them rejoice! You who seek God, ¹  may you be encouraged! ²
