Context of Psalms 146:6
4When his spirit leaves him, he returns to the earth; In that very day his thoughts and plans perish. 5How blessed and graciously favored is he whose help is the God of Jacob (Israel), Whose hope is in the Lord his God, Who made heaven and earth, The sea, and all that is in them, Who keeps truth and is faithful forever, 7Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord sets free the prisoners. 8The Lord opens the eyes of the blind; The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down; The Lord loves the righteous [the upright in heart].
