Psalms which comfort, condemn, plead

The Book of Psalms in the Bible contains various passages that express comfort to the oppressed, condemnation of oppressors, and pleas for the deity to notice oppression. Here are a few Psalms that reflect these qualities:

1. Comfort to the Oppressed:
Psalm 34:18 - "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit."
Psalm 147:3 - "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

2. Condemnation of the Oppressor:
Psalm 10:2-11 - Describes the wicked and their oppression, and calls on God to hold them accountable.
Psalm 94:20-23 - Condemns those who frame injustice by statute and condemns those who condemn the innocent to death.

3. Pleadings with the Deity to Notice Oppression:
Psalm 12:5 - Because the poor are plundered, because the needy groan, I will now arise," says the Lord; "I will place him in the safety for which he longs."
Psalm 43:1 - Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people; from the deceitful and unjust man deliver me!"
