The LORD openeth the eyes of the blind: the LORD raiseth them that are bowed down: the LORD loveth the righteous:
David stirs himself and us to praise God, then warns against the near-universal disease: we deceive ourselves by trusting in princes and great men, who have no power to save. The remedy is plain, center all hope in God alone, and He will show you His power and mercy.

Commenting on Psalm 146:1-10
The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind. Jesus did this very frequently, and hereby proved himself to be Jehovah. He who made the eye can open it, and when he does so it is to his glory. How often is the mental eye closed in moral night!
Happy is the one who takes God for his God and serves Him, and whose hope rests in Him when all other supports fail. Such a person has an interest in God's attributes and promises, engaged entirely for him, relief in public distress, provision in personal want.
