Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 146:8

"Jehovah openeth [the eyes of] the blind; Jehovah raiseth up them that are bowed down; Jehovah loveth the righteous;" — Psalms 146:8 (ASV)

Opens.— Here, and through the verse, the verbs are participles. The elliptical “open the blind” is easily understood.

Blindness is sometimes figurative of distress and helplessness (Deuteronomy 28:29; Isaiah 59:9, etc.), sometimes of want of mental or spiritual discernment, as Isaiah 29:18; Isaiah 42:7, etc. Here, most probably, the former.

Raises.— See Psalms 145:14.
