2 Happy the man whose hopes rely
On Israel’s God: he made the sky,
And earth, and seas, with all their train.
His truth for ever stands secure:
He saves th’ oppressed, he feeds the poor,
And none shall find his promise vain.
3 The Lord pours eyesight on the blind;
The Lord supports the fainting mind,
He sends the laboring conscience peace:
He helps the stranger in distress,
