When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish. |

the Maker of heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He remains faithful forever. |

He executes justice for the oppressed and gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets the prisoners free, |
|
8
|
the LORD opens the eyes of the blind, the LORD lifts those who are weighed down, the LORD loves the righteous. |
|

The LORD protects foreigners; He sustains the fatherless and the widow, but the ways of the wicked He frustrates. |
|

The LORD reigns forever, your God, O Zion, for all generations. Hallelujah! |
