God Hears the Needy - Psalm 69:30-36

God is the God of the oppressed, the downtrodden, the ones who did not inherit wealth, and have been forced to suffer under systems they cannot control. Instead of shaming the oppressed, God stands by their side. Meditation on Psalm 69:30-36 by Pastor Lars Hammar of Lord of Grace Lutheran Church of Marana, Arizona.

32 Let the oppressed see it and be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive.

33 For the LORD hears the needy, and does not despise his own that are in bonds.

34 Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves in them.

35 For God will save Zion and rebuild the cities of Judah; and his servants shall live there and possess it;

36 the children of his servants shall inherit it, and those who love his name shall live in it.
