The Lord will deliver them in time of trouble,
The Lord preserve them and comfort them. |
| 2. Chorus
Blessed are they that consider the poor and needy,,
The Lord will deliver them in time of trouble,
The Lord preserve them and comfort them.
They deliver the poor that crieth, the fatherless,
and him that hat none to help him.
O God who from the suckling's mouth
Ordaineth early praise
Of such as worship thee in truth,
Accept the humble lays. |

And not deliver them unto their foes. |

For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth,
