Psalms 146:5-10 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

There can be no hesitation to determine to whom these verses refer. The God of Jacob, is God's Covenant name in Christ. And the offices that covenant God hath performed, and is performing, as plainly manifest the Lord Jesus. See Isaiah 61:1, compared with Luke 4:18-19. And he that in the days of his flesh opened the eyes of the blind; and now in the day of his power openeth the eyes of the soul, is the King of Zion upon his holy hill; and will be Zion's Husband, Lord, and Redeemer, forever and ever. Well may we say Hallelujah!

Psalms 146:5-10

5 Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:

6 Which made heaven, and earth, the sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever:

7 Which executeth judgment for the oppressed: which giveth food to the hungry. The LORD looseth the prisoners:

8 The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:

9 The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

10 The LORD shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD.
