Psalm 146:4-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
4 When their breath departs, they return to the earth;
on that very day their plans perish.(A)
5 Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the Lord their God,(B)
6 who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps faith forever;(C)
7 who executes justice for the oppressed;
who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord sets the prisoners free;(D)
8 the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous.(E)
9 The Lord watches over the strangers;
he upholds the orphan and the widow,
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.(F)
