146:6 the one who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them,
who remains forever faithful, 1
146:7 vindicates the oppressed, 2
and gives food to the hungry.
The Lord releases the imprisoned.
146:8 The Lord gives sight to the blind.
The Lord lifts up all who are bent over. 3
The Lord loves the godly.
146:9 The Lord protects those residing outside their native land;
he lifts up the fatherless and the widow, 4
but he opposes the wicked. 5
