That Man Is Blest Who, Fearing God

Verse 1

That man is blest who, fearing God, from sin restrains his feet, who will not stand with wicked men, who shuns the scorners' seat.

Verse 2

Yea, blest is he who makes God's law his portion and delight, and meditates upon that law with gladness day and night.

Verse 3

That man is nourished like a tree set by the river's side; its leaf is green, its fruit is sure, and thus his works abide.

Verse 4

The wicked, like the driven chaff, are swept from off the land; they shall not gather with the just, nor in the judgment stand.

Verse 5

The LORD will guard the righteous well, their way to Him is known; the way of sinners, far from God, shall surely be o'erthrown.
