This hymn weaves together the first Beatitude with the powerful language of Psalm 146. While the refrain echoes Christ’s promise from the Sermon on the Mount, the verses draw from the psalmist’s bold proclamation: Do not put your trust in princes… The Lord gives justice to the oppressed… He feeds the hungry… He lifts up those who are bowed down. The poor in spirit are not forgotten. They are seen. They are sustained. They are lifted. In Psalm 146, we are reminded that earthly power fades — but the Lord keeps faith forever. The Kingdom belongs to those who place their hope not in status or strength, but in the God who raises the lowly and remains faithful from generation to generation. May this setting help you pray the Beatitudes through the lens of the psalms — steady, grounded, and full of trust.
