Verse 18: continues, saying, “To vindicate (do justice to) the orphan and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may cause terror no more. It is interesting to note that the afflicted and the humble run to the Lord, and He hears their cry, while the man who depends on his earthly (wicked) inclinations causes terror, and is subject to God’s determined wrath. God’s absolutes and truths are not always as distinguishable when listening to the world’s voices, as they often layer shades of grey over the innocent’s plight, and over the truth, and add many shades of so-called white (washing) over deeds of darkness, to deem them acceptable.
