וְהוּא יִשְׁפֹּט תֵּבֵל בְּצֶדֶק יָדִין לְאֻמִּים בְּמֵישָׁרִים: וִיהִי ה' מִשְׂגָּב לַדָּךְ מִשְׂגָּב לְעִתּוֹת בַּצָּרָה:
It is God who judges the world with righteousness, rules the peoples with equity. The LORD is a haven for the oppressed, a haven in times of trouble.
[JPS translation. Edited for gender neutrality]
Suggested Discussion Questions:
1. What is the connection between these two verses?
2. In what ways do we fail to provide a haven for the oppressed and for those in times of trouble? How could we become more protective of the vulnerable?
Time Period: Biblical (early ancestors to 165 BCE)
