3 Don’t trust leaders;don’t trust any human beings—there’s no saving help with them!
4 Their breath leaves them,then they go back to the ground.On that very same day, their plans die too.
5 The person whose help is the God of Jacob—the person whose hope rests on the Lord their God—is truly happy!
6 God: the maker of heaven and earth,the sea, and all that is in them,God: who is faithful forever,
7 who gives justice to people who are oppressed,who gives bread to people who are starving!The Lord: who frees prisoners.
8 The Lord: who makes the blind see.The Lord: who straightens up those who are bent low.The Lord: who loves the righteous.
9 The Lord: who protects immigrants,who helps orphans and widows,but who makes the way of the wicked twist and turn!
