7 Who gives their rights to those who are crushed down; and gives food to those who are in need of it: the Lord makes the prisoners free;
Do not let the landmark of the widow be moved, and do not go into the fields of those who have no father; For their saviour is strong, and he will take up their cause against you.
And as for you, because of the blood of your agreement, I have sent out your prisoners from the deep hole in which there is no water. And they will come back to you, O daughter of Zion, as prisoners of hope: today I say to you that I will give you back twice as much;
The eyes of all men are waiting for you; and you give them their food in its time. By the opening of your hand, every living thing has its desire in full measure.
He took them out of the dark and the black night, and all their chains were broken. Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men! The doors of brass are broken by his arm, and the bands of iron are cut in two.
He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was given as a servant for a price: His feet were fixed in chains; his neck was put in iron bands; Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord. The king sent men to take off his chains; even the ruler of the people, who let him go free.
You have seen it; for your eyes are on sorrow and grief, to take it into your hand: the poor man puts his faith in you; you have been the helper of the child who has no father. Let the arm of the sinner and the evil-doer be broken; go on searching for his sin till there is no more.

PSALM 146
Ps 146:1-10. An exhortation to praise God, who, by the gracious and faithful exercise of His power in goodness to the needy, is alone worthy of implicit trust.
