7 Who executes justice for the oppressed; Who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.
Don't move the ancient boundary stone. Don't encroach on the fields of the fatherless: For their Defender is strong. He will plead their case against you.
As for you also, Because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water. Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope! Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
The eyes of all wait for you. You give them their food in due season. You open your hand, And satisfy the desire of every living thing.
He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, And broke their bonds in sunder. Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, For his wonderful works to the children of men! For he has broken the gates of brass, And cut through bars of iron.
He sent a man before them. Joseph was sold for a slave. They bruised his feet with shackles. His neck was locked in irons, Until the time that his word happened, And Yahweh's word proved him true. The king sent and freed him; Even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.

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.
