Mazmur 146:7

146:7 vindicates the oppressed, ¹ 

and gives food to the hungry.

The Lord releases the imprisoned.

Mazmur 118:25

118:25 Please Lord, deliver!

Please Lord, grant us success! ² 

[146:7]  ¹ tn Heb “executes justice for the oppressed.”

[118:25]  ² sn A petition for deliverance and success seems odd in a psalm thanking God for deliverance, but it is not unique (see Ps 9:19-20). The people ask God to continue to intervene for them as he has for the psalmist.
