““not your trust in princes, r in a son of man, in whom there is s no salvation. 4 When t his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish. 5 u Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose v hope is in the LORD his God, 6 w who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, x who keeps faith forever; 7 y who executes justice for the oppressed, z who gives food to the hungry. a The LORD sets the prisoners free; 8 b the LORD opens the eyes of the blind. c The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down; d the LORD loves the righteous. 9 e The LORD watches over the sojourners; f he upholds the widow and the fatherless, but g the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.””
