Doing nothing for others is the undoing of ourselves.

While we do our good works let us not forget that the real solution lies in a world in which charity will have become unnecessary. The hills bring the fruit of righteousness. He will judge the poor.

Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me. Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous. For the enemy pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
