Blessed is he who is helped by Jacob’s God.It is the Lord who preserves fidelity forever,who does justice to those who are oppressed.It is he who gives bread to the hungry,the Lord who sets prisoners free.It is the Lord who opens the eyes of the blind,the Lord who raises up those who are bowed down.It is the Lord who loves the just,the Lord who protects the stranger.The Lord upholds the orphan and the widow,but thwarts the path of the wicked.The Lord will reign forever,the God of Sion from age to age.R/.
