3 Put not your trust in princes, in mortal man, who cannot save. 4 When his spirit departs, he returns to the ground; on that very day his plans perish. 5 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. He remains faithful forever. 7 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.
