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