For the LORD heareth the poor, and despiseth not his prisoners.
Ver. 33. For the Lord heareth the poor] He is the poor man's king, the wronged man's refuge; Trajan the emperor is renowned for this, that when he was mounted for a battle, he alighted again to bear the complaint of a poor woman that cried unto him for justice (Aeli. Spart.); and our Edward VI for this, that he would appoint certain hours to sit with the master of the requests, only to despatch the causes of the poor. God is much more to be magnified.
