Psalm 146:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 the Maker of heaven and earth,[a]
the sea, and everything in them—
the one who keeps faith forever.
7 He grants justice to the oppressed[b]
and gives bread to the hungry.
The Lord releases prisoners
8 and opens the eyes of those who cannot see.[c]
The Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
the Lord loves the righteous.
