Psalm 146:5–147:1

^5fHappy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,

Whose hope is in the Lord his God,

^6gWho made heaven and earth,

The sea, and all that is in them;

Who keeps truth forever,

^7hWho executes justice for the oppressed,

ⁱWho gives food to the hungry.

^jThe Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.

^8kThe Lord opens the eyes of the blind;

^lThe Lord raises those who are bowed down;

The Lord loves the righteous.

^9mThe Lord watches over the strangers;

He relieves the fatherless and widow;

ⁿBut the way of the wicked He ⁴turns upside down.

^10oThe Lord shall reign forever—

Your God, O Zion, to all generations.

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 147
