For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 12 of Psalms. Psalm 12 laments the disappearance of faithfulness and the proliferation of deceptive words. Human speech appears as an instrument of manipulation, especially when the powerful use arrogant words to oppress. In contrast, the word of the Lord is presented as pure and trustworthy. The contrast between fluctuating human words and preserved divine speech establishes a theological foundation for trust in the midst of a corrupt society.

die da sagen: Unsere Zunge soll Oberhand haben, uns gebührt zu reden; wer ist unser HERR?
Por la opresión de los pobres, por el gemido de los menesterosos, Ahora me levantaré, dice Jehová: Pondrelos en salvo del que contra ellos se engríe.
«Por la opresión de los pobres y el gemido de los necesitados, ahora me levantaré —dice Jehová—; pondré a salvo al que suspira por ello».
Parce que les malheureux sont opprimés et que les pauvres gémissent, Maintenant, dit l'Eternel, je me lève, J'apporte le salut à ceux contre qui l'on souffle.
Per la desolazione de’ poveri afflitti, per le strida de’ bisognosi, Ora mi leverò, dice il Signore; Io metterò in salvo quelli contro a cui coloro parlano audacemente.
Pela opressão dos pobres, pelo gemido dos necessitados me levantarei agora, diz o SENHOR; porei a salvo aquele para quem eles assopram.
耶和華說:「因為困苦人的冤屈 和貧窮人的嘆息, 我現在要起來, 把他安置在他所切慕的穩妥之地。」
