Psalm 146:4-9

English Standard Version

⁴When ^(A)his breath departs, he returns to the earth;
on that very day his plans perish.

⁵^(B)Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
    whose ^(C)hope is in the Lord his God,
⁶^(D)who made heaven and earth,
    the sea, and all that is in them,
^(E)who keeps faith forever;
⁷    ^(F)who executes justice for the oppressed,
    ^(G)who gives food to the hungry.

^(H)The Lord sets the prisoners free;
⁸    ^(I)the Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
^(J)The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
    ^(K)the Lord loves the righteous.
⁹^(L)The Lord watches over the sojourners;
    ^(M)he upholds the widow and the fatherless,
    but ^(N)the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
