146:7 vindicates the oppressed, 1
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. 2
The Lord loves the godly.
146:9 The Lord protects those residing outside their native land;
he lifts up the fatherless and the widow, 3
but he opposes the wicked. 4
146:10 The Lord rules forever,
your God, O Zion, throughout the generations to come! 5
Praise the Lord!
