4 A beggar’s request do not reject;do not turn your face away from the poor.
5 From the needy do not turn your eyes;do not give them reason to curse you.
6 If in their pain they cry out bitterly,their Rock will hear the sound of their cry.
7 Endear yourself to the assembly;before the city’s ruler bow your head.
8 Give a hearing to the poor,and return their greeting with deference;
9 Deliver the oppressed from their oppressors;right judgment should not be repugnant to you.
10 Be like a father to orphans,and take the place of a husband to widows.Then God will call you his child,and he will be merciful to you and deliver you from the pit.
