The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind: the Lord raiseth them that are bowed down: the Lord loveth the righteous:

Ps. 146:9
The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

Ps. 147:6
The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.

Ps. 147:20
He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord.
