English text

Isaac Watts, 1719, Ps. 146 Pt. 1, Sts. 5-6

His truth for ever stands secure;
He saves the oppressed, he feeds the poor;
He sends the laboring conscience peace,
And grants the prisoner sweet release.

The Lord hath eyes to give the blind;
The Lord supports the sinking mind;
He helps the stranger in distress,
The widow and the fatherless.

Elisha West, 1802

The Lord hath eyes to give the blind;
The Lord supports the sinking mind;
He sends the laboring conscience peace,
He helps the stranger in distress,
The widow and the fatherless,
And grants the prisoner sweet release.
