PSALM 10 Verse 16

from THE COVERDALE VERSION from the BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER ;
........the poor committeth himself unto thee ;
        for thou art the helper of the friendless.

The poor, those in need, especially those in dire need, cry out to God.
God is the helper of the poor...therefore helping the poor is a godly thing to do.
That can be done out of a sense of duty, but to care for people with concern and affection is Christlike.
It is always good to examine our motives honestly before the Lord, and to ask for enabling grace..

Verse 14 in the REVISED ENGLISH BIBLE
          The haples victim commits himself to you
          in you the fatherless finds a helper.
