KJV 1900King James Version

Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help,

Whose hope is in the Lord his God:

Which made heaven, and earth,

The sea, and all that therein is:

Which keepeth truth for ever:

Which executeth judgment for the oppressed:

Which giveth food to the hungry.

The Lord looseth the prisoners:

The Lord openeth the eyes of the blind:

The Lord raiseth them that are bowed down:

The Lord loveth the righteous:

The Lord preserveth the strangers;

He relieveth the fatherless and widow:

But the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.

The Lord shall reign for ever,

Even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.

Praise ye the Lord.
