Psalms 146:5-9

5The person who knows that the God of Jacob will help him is a happy person! If he trusts in the Lord as his God, he is happy.

6The Lord made the skies, the earth and the sea. He also made everything that is in them. He always does what he has promised to do.

7He helps poor people to receive justice. He gives food to the hungry. He makes people that are in a prison go free.

8The Lord makes blind people see again. The Lord lifts up people who have fallen down. The Lord loves people who are righteous.

9The Lord takes care of strangers who live among us. He helps widows and children who have no family. But he stops wicked people doing what they want.
