Psalms 146:9
The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.
146:9. The LORD preserveth the strangers. Many monarchs hunted aliens down, or transported them from place to place, or left them as outlaws unworthy of human rights; but Jehovah made special laws for their shelter within his domain.
He relieveth the fatherless and widow. These excite his compassion, and he shows it in a practical way by upraising them from their forlorn condition. The Mosaic law made provision for these destitute persons.
But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down. The wicked man’s way is in itself a turning of things upside down, and the Lord makes it so to him providentially: everything goes wrong with him who goes wrong.
