2. 2. 7 {The Lord} secures justice for the oppressed, gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets prisoners free; 8 the LORD gives sight to the blind. The LORD raises up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous. 9 The LORD protects the stranger, sustains the orphan and the widow, but thwarts the way of the wicked. 10 The LORD shall reign forever, your God, Zion, through all generations! Hallelujah!
3. 3. This reading lists some of the reasons we should praise and worship God. The idea of Gods faithfulness shows the Lord is gracious and good to people. He helps the oppressed gives food to the hungry, releases prisoners from their sin, gives sight to the blind people, raises up the defeated, loves the righteous, protects the sojourner, and leads the orphan and widow to security. But, because He is just, He also frustrates the wicked. The psalmist concluded that the Lord reigns forever and as the eternal Ruler, He is independent, kind, and just. So He qualifies for the highest form of praise.
