4When they breathe their last, they return to the earth, and all their plans die with them. 5But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the Lord their God. He made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He keeps every promise forever. 7He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. 8The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly.
