9 Yahweh preserves the foreigners. He upholds the fatherless and widow, But the way of the wicked he turns upside down.
A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, Is God in his holy habitation.
Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me.
My God, make them like tumbleweed; Like chaff before the wind. As the fire that burns the forest, As the flame that sets the mountains on fire, So pursue them with your tempest, And terrify them with your storm. Fill their faces with confusion, That they may seek your name, Yahweh. Let them be disappointed and dismayed forever. Yes, let them be confounded and perish;
Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the perjurers, and against those who oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, and the fatherless, and who deprive the foreigner of justice, and don't fear me," says Yahweh of Hosts.
Assyria can't save us. We won't ride on horses; Neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, 'Our gods!' For in you the fatherless finds mercy."
The way of the wicked is like darkness. They don't know what they stumble over.
Yahweh preserves all those who love him, But all the wicked he will destroy.
With the pure, you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands can't perform their enterprise. He takes the wise in their own craftiness; The counsel of the cunning is carried headlong. They meet with darkness in the day-time, And grope at noonday as in the night.
So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.
Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends to him, Let a gallows be made fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak you to the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon: then go you in merrily with the king to the banquet. The thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.
One told David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. David said, Yahweh, please turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness.
and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your man-servant, and your maid-servant, and the Levite who is within your gates, and the foreigner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are in the midst of you, in the place which Yahweh your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

PSALM 146
Ps 146:1-10. An exhortation to praise God, who, by the gracious and faithful exercise of His power in goodness to the needy, is alone worthy of implicit trust.
