Psalms 146:8

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.

10 ^aThe Lord shall reign forever—
Your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the Lord!
