Blest Is He Who Loves God’s Precepts

 

 

VERSE 1

Blest is he who loves God’s precepts,

Who from sin restrains his feet,

He who will not stand with sinners,

He who shuns the scorners’ seat.

 

VERSE 2

Blest is he who makes the statutes

Of the Lord his chief delight,

In God’s law, divinely perfect,

Meditating day and night.

 

VERSE 3

He is like a tree well planted

By the flowing river’s side,

Ever green of leaf and fruitful:

Thus shall all his works abide.

 

VERSE 4

Like the driven chaff the wicked

Shall be swept from off the land

With the just they shall not gather,

Nor shall in the judgment stand.

 

VERSE 5

Well the Lord will guard the righteous,

For their way to Him is known;

But the way of evildoers

Shall by Him be overthrown.
