God helps the stranger in distress, the widow and the fatherless, and grants the prisoner sweet release. 4 I’ll praise God while I'm granted breath; and when my voice is lost in death, praise shall employ my nobler powers; my days of praise shall ne'er be past, while life and thought and being last, or immortality endures.
