Psalms 146 ~ Listen and Read Along

Dramatized KJV
JV McGee
The sufficiency of God as the Helper of His people. In contrast with the helplessness of man, the strength of The LORD is celebrated as manifested in creation, and the maintenance of order (v. 6), As exercised on behalf of the needy and the oppressed (7~9). Notice the descriptions of the people whom The LORD helps. "The oppressed ... the hungry ... the prisoners ... the blind ... they that are bowed down ... the righteous ... the strangers ... the fatherless and widow."

Then notice how the Divine activity exactly meets the need. "Executeth judgement ... giveth food ... looseth ... openeth the eyes ... raiseth up ... loveth ... preserveth ... upholdeth." In contrast with the vanishing life of princes and sons of men, The LORD reigns for ever, and is the God of Zion to all generations.
