8 Jehovah is loosing the prisoners, Jehovah is opening (the eyes of) the blind, Jehovah is raising the bowed down, Jehovah is loving the righteous,
and their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, `See, let no one know;'
Jehovah is supporting all who are falling, And raising up all who are bowed down.
Jehovah is causing the meek to stand, Making low the wicked unto the earth.
for the Father himself doth love you, because me ye have loved, and ye have believed that I from God came forth;
the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, for your knowing what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
but He who is comforting the cast-down -- God -- He did comfort us in the presence of Titus;
Also He `is' loving the peoples; All His holy ones `are' in thy hand, And they -- they sat down at thy foot, `Each' He lifteth up at thy words.
he who is having my commands, and is keeping them, that one it is who is loving me, and he who is loving me shall be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.' Judas saith to him, (not the Iscariot), `Sir, what hath come to pass, that to us thou are about to manifest thyself, and not to the world?' Jesus answered and said to him, `If any one may love me, my word he will keep, and my Father will love him, and unto him we will come, and abode with him we will make;
`Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,' which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing; the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and begging?' others said -- `This is he;' and others -- `He is like to him;' he himself said, -- `I am `he'.' They said, therefore, to him, `How were thine eyes opened?' he answered and said, `A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;' they said, therefore, to him, `Where is that one?' he saith, `I have not known.' They bring him to the Pharisees who once `was' blind, and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, `Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash -- and I see.' Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, `This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;' others said, `How is a man -- a sinful one -- able to do such signs?' and there was a division among them. They said to the blind man again, `Thou -- what dost thou say of him -- that he opened thine eyes?' and he said -- `He is a prophet.' The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight, and they asked them, saying, `Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?' His parents answered them and said, `We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind; and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.' These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him -- Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue; because of this his parents said -- `He is of age, ask him.' They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, `Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;' he answered, therefore, and said, `If he be a sinner -- I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.' And they said to him again, `What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?' He answered them, `I told you already, and ye did not hear; why again do ye wish to hear? do ye also wish to become his disciples?' They reviled him, therefore, and said, `Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses' disciples; we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one -- we have not known whence he is.' The man answered and said to them, `Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes! and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear; from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind; if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.'
saying, `What wilt thou I shall do to thee?' and he said, `Sir, that I may receive sight.' And Jesus said to him, `Receive thy sight; thy faith hath saved thee;'
and lo, there was a woman having a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and she was bowed together, and not able to bend back at all, and Jesus having seen her, did call `her' near, and said to her, `Woman, thou hast been loosed from thy infirmity;' and he laid on her `his' hands, and presently she was set upright, and was glorifying God.
And I have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, In paths they have not known I cause them to tread, I make a dark place before them become light, And unlevelled places become a plain, These `are' the things I have done to them, And I have not forsaken them.

PSALM 146
Ps 146:1-10. An exhortation to praise God, who, by the gracious and faithful exercise of His power in goodness to the needy, is alone worthy of implicit trust.
