Context of Psalms 146:6
4His spirit departs, he returns to the earth; On that very day his plans perish. 5Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, Whose hope is in the Lord his God, Who made heaven and earth, The sea and everything that is in them; Who keeps faith forever; 7Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. 8The Lord opens the eyes of those who are blind; The Lord raises up those who are bowed down; The Lord loves the righteous.
