Psalms 146:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 146:5

3 ^aDo not put your trust in princes,
Nor in¹ a son of man, in whom there is no² help.

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,

6 ^aWho made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever,

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.

9 ^aThe Lord watches over the strangers;
He relieves the fatherless and widow;
^bBut the way of the wicked He¹ turns upside down.
