4 ^aHis spirit departs, he returns to his earth;
In that very day ^bhis plans perish. ‡

5 ^aHappy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God, ‡

7 ^aWho executes justice for the oppressed,
^bWho gives food to the hungry.
^cThe Lord gives freedom to the prisoners. ‡

8 ^aThe Lord opens the eyes of the blind;
^bThe Lord raises those who are bowed down;
The Lord loves the righteous. ‡
