Psalm 18:3–18 (ASV)
3I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised:
So shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4The cords of death compassed me,
And the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
5The cords of Sheol were round about me;
The snares of death came upon me.
6In my distress I called upon Jehovah,
And cried unto my God:
He heard my voice out of his temple,
And my cry before him came into his ears.
7Then the earth shook and trembled;
The foundations also of the mountains quaked
And were shaken, because he was wroth.
8There went up a smoke out of his nostrils,
And fire out of his mouth devoured:
Coals were kindled by it.
9He bowed the heavens also, and came down;
And thick darkness was under his feet.
10And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly;
Yea, he soared upon the wings of the wind.
11He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round about him,
Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
13Jehovah also thundered in the heavens,
And the Most High uttered his voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.
14And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them;
Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.
15Then the channels of waters appeared,
And the foundations of the world were laid bare,
At thy rebuke, O Jehovah,
At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16He sent from on high, he took me;
He drew me out of many waters.
17He delivered me from my strong enemy,
And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
18They came upon me in the day of my calamity;
But Jehovah was my stay.
Psalm 41:1–3 (ASV)
1Blessed is he that considereth the poor:
Jehovah will deliver him in the day of evil.
2Jehovah will preserve him, and keep him alive,
And he shall be blessed upon the earth;
And deliver not thou him unto the will of his enemies.
3Jehovah will support him upon the couch of languishing:
Thou makest all his bed in his sickness.
Deuteronomy 15:7–11 (ASV)
7If there be with thee a poor man, one of thy brethren, within any of thy gates in thy land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thy heart, nor shut thy hand from thy poor brother; 8but thou shalt surely open thy hand unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need in that which he wanteth. 9Beware that there be not a base thought in thy heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou give him nought; and he cry unto Jehovah against thee, and it be sin unto thee. 10Thou shalt surely give him, and thy heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him; because that for this thing Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy work, and in all that thou puttest thy hand unto. 11For the poor will never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt surely open thy hand unto thy brother, to thy needy, and to thy poor, in thy land.

1God standeth in the congregation of God;

And respect the persons of the wicked? Selah

Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
4Rescue the poor and needy:
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They know not, neither do they understand;
They walk to and fro in darkness:
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6I said, Ye are gods,
And all of you sons of the Most High.
7Nevertheless ye shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth;
For thou shalt inherit all the nations.
Psalm 96:6–10 (ASV)
6Honor and majesty are before him:
Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples,
Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.
8Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name:
Bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9Oh worship Jehovah in holy array:
Tremble before him, all the earth.
10Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth:
The world also is established that it cannot be moved:
He will judge the peoples with equity

1Jehovah reigneth; let the peoples tremble:
He sitteth above the cherubim; let the earth be moved.

3Let them praise thy great and terrible name:
Holy is he.
4The king’s strength also loveth justice;
Thou dost establish equity;
Thou executest justice and righteousness in Jacob.

2 Peter 3:9–15 (ASV)
9The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to you-ward, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10But the day of the Lord will come as a thief; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall be dissolved with fervent heat, and the earth and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11Seeing that these things are thus all to be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy living and godliness, 12looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, by reason of which the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13But, according to his promise, we look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 14Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for these things, give diligence that ye may be found in peace, without spot and blameless in his sight. 15And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote unto you;

For he cometh to judge the earth:

Psalm 7:6–17 (ASV)
6Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger;
Lift up thyself against the rage of mine adversaries,
And awake for me; thou hast commanded judgment.
7And let the congregation of the peoples compass thee about;
And over them return thou on high.
8Jehovah ministereth judgment to the peoples:
Judge me, O Jehovah, according to my righteousness, and to mine integrity that is in me.
9Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end, but establish thou the righteous:
For the righteous God trieth the minds and hearts.
10My shield is with God,
Who saveth the upright in heart.
11God is a righteous judge,
Yea, a God that hath indignation every day.
12If a man turn not, he will whet his sword;
He hath bent his bow, and made it ready;
13He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death;
He maketh his arrows fiery shafts.
14Behold, he travaileth with iniquity;
Yea, he hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.
15He hath made a pit, and digged it,
And is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16His mischief shall return upon his own head,
And his violence shall come down upon his own pate.
17I will give thanks unto Jehovah according to his righteousness,
And will sing praise to the name of Jehovah Most High.

Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.

And the foundations of the world were laid bare,
At thy rebuke, O Jehovah,
At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16He sent from on high, he took me;

And from them that hated me; for they were too mighty for me.
18They came upon me in the day of my calamity;
But Jehovah was my stay.
Psalm 76:3–9 (ASV)
3There he brake the arrows of the bow;
The shield, and the sword, and the battle. Selah
4Glorious art thou and excellent,
From the mountains of prey.
5The stouthearted are made a spoil,
They have slept their sleep;
And none of the men of might have found their hands.
6At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both chariot and horse are cast into a deep sleep.
7Thou, even thou, art to be feared;
And who may stand in thy sight when once thou art angry?
8Thou didst cause sentence to be heard from heaven;
The earth feared, and was still,
9When God arose to judgment,
To save all the meek of the earth. Selah

He is terrible to the kings of the earth.

Rescue me, and deliver me out of great waters,
Out of the hand of aliens;

And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
12When our sons shall be as plants grown up in their youth,
And our daughters as corner-stones hewn after the fashion of a palace;
13When our garners are full, affording all manner of store,
And our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
14When our oxen are well laden;
When there is no breaking in, and no going forth,
And no outcry in our streets:
15Happy is the people that is in such a case;
Yea, happy is the people whose God is Jehovah.

25If thou lend money to any of my people with thee that is poor, thou shalt not be to him as a creditor; neither shall ye lay upon him interest. 26If thou at all take thy neighbor’s garment to pledge, thou shalt restore it unto him before the sun goeth down: 27for that is his only covering, it is his garment for his skin: wherein shall he sleep? and it shall come to pass, when he crieth unto me, that I will hear; for I am gracious.
Isaiah 3:13–15 (ASV)
13Jehovah standeth up to contend, and standeth to judge the peoples. 14Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and the princes thereof: It is ye that have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses: 15what mean ye that ye crush my people, and grind the face of the poor? saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.

And abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.

As stubble before the wind.
14As the fire that burneth the forest,

There we sat down, yea, we wept,

We hanged up our harps.

And they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying,
Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4How shall we sing Jehovah’s song

The day of Jerusalem;
Who said, Rase it, rase it,
Even to the foundation thereof.

Against the rock.
