The Almighty God is at our service—the All-Mighty, the Only-Mighty; we cannot rely on second insurance—we must depend solely on him, casting all our cares on the Lord, for He cares for us.
God demonstrates faithfulness through his love for all who are weak and inclined to seek salvation in the powerful. Also, those who are disadvantaged because of others (oppressed, hungry, or captive), due- to illness (blind or fainting), or other life circumstances (migrants, orphans, widows) benefit from God’s loving faithfulness. The programmatic discourse of Jesus, in the synagogue of Nazareth: ‘He has sent me to give Good News to the poor, to announce freedom to prisoners…’ (cf. Lk 4:17-22), renews the theme of this psalm. Human projects can be ambitious and challenging; however, they will not override the divine plan. We can pray with this psalm if we trust God and truly believe in Him. God is the one who frees the poor. The more we believe this, the more we seek to share the Lord’s thoughts, dedicating our lives to serving the marginalized, the hungry, and the humiliated.
