Psalm 146:7-9
New Catholic Bible
7 He grants justice to the oppressed[a]
and gives bread to the hungry.
The Lord releases prisoners
8 and opens the eyes of those who cannot see.[b]
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous.
9 The Lord watches over the stranger
and sustains the fatherless and the widow,[c]
but he blocks the way of the wicked.
