146:7 vindicates the oppressed, 1
and gives food to the hungry.
The Lord releases the imprisoned.
1:53 he has filled the hungry with good things, 2 and has sent the rich away empty. 3
[146:7] 1 tn Heb “executes justice for the oppressed.”
[1:53] 2 sn Good things refers not merely to material blessings, but blessings that come from knowing God.
[1:53] 3 sn Another fundamental contrast of Luke’s is between the hungry and the rich (Luke 6:20-26).
