The Blessedness of Saints, and Misery of Sinners

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 119

Verse 1

Blest are the undefiled in heart, whose ways are right and clean; who never from your law depart, but flee from every sin.

Verse 2

Blest are the ones that keep your word, and serve you with their hands; with their whole heart they seek you, Lord, obeying your commands.

Verse 3

Great is their peace who love your law; how firm their souls abide! Nor can a bold temptation draw their steady feet aside.

Verse 4

Then shall my heart have inward joy! I’ll keep my steps from shame; your statutes help me to obey, and glorify your name.
