   Which keepeth truth for ever, doth judgment for them that suffer wrong: giveth food to the hungry. Our Lord looseth the fettered:

   Our Lord keepeth strangers, the pupil and widow he will receive: and the ways of sinners he will destroy.

    Our Lord will reign for ever thy God, o Sion in generation & generation.
