Psalms 146:7

146:7 vindicates the oppressed, ⁴ 

and gives food to the hungry.

The Lord releases the imprisoned.

[107:5]  ¹ tn Heb “and their soul in them fainted.”

[107:9]  ² tn Heb “[the] longing throat.” The noun נֶפֶשׁ (nefesh), which frequently refers to one’s very being or soul, here probably refers to one’s parched “throat” (note the parallelism with נֶפֱשׁ רְעֵבָה, nefesh rÿ’evah, “hungry throat”).

[107:9]  ³ tn Heb “and [the] hungry throat he has filled [with] good.”

[146:7]  ³ tn Heb “executes justice for the oppressed.”
