Advent Week 3. Reading 5

Psalm 146:5-10 NIV

Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,
        whose hope is in the LORD his God,
6     the Maker of heaven and earth,
        the sea, and everything in them—
        the LORD, who remains faithful forever.
7     He upholds the cause of the oppressed
        and gives food to the hungry.
     The LORD sets prisoners free,
8         the LORD gives sight to the blind,
    the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down,
        the LORD loves the righteous.
9     The LORD watches over the alien
        and sustains the fatherless and the widow,
        but he frustrates the ways of the wicked.

10        The LORD reigns forever,
        your God, O Zion, for all generations.
