Órfãos

4 Sing to God, sing praises to his name.

Lift up a song to the rider on the clouds—his name is Yah—*

and rejoice before him.

5 A father to orphans and a judge for widows

is God in his holy habitation.

9 Yahweh protects* the strangers.

He helps up the orphan and the widow,

but the way of the wicked he thwarts.*

3 Judge on behalf of the helpless and the orphan;

provide justice to the afflicted and the poor.

18 "I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.

27 Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our* God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

17 Learn to do good!

Seek justice! Rescue the oppressed!

Defend the orphan! Plead for the widow!

9 "Thus says Yahweh of hosts: ‘Judge with trustworthy justice, and show* steadfast love and compassion to one another.*10 You must not oppress the widow, the orphan, the foreigner, and the needy. You must not devise evil in your heart against one another.’*

22 " ‘You will not afflict any widow or orphan. 23 If you indeed afflict him, yes, if he cries out at all to me, I will certainly hear his cry of distress. 24 And I will become angry,* and I will kill you with the sword, and your wives will be widows and your children orphans.

12 because I saved the needy who cried for help,

and I saved* the orphan for whom there was no helper.

13 The blessing of the wretched came upon me,

and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.
