1
HOW blest is he who ne’er consents
By ill advice to walk;
Nor stands in sinners’ ways, nor sits
Where men profanely talk.
2
But makes the perfect law of God
His business and delight;
Devoutly reads therein by day,
And meditates by night.
3
Like some fair tree, which, fed by streams,
With timely fruit does bend,
He still shall flourish, and success
All his designs attend.
4
Ungodly men and their attempts
No lasting root shall find;
Untimely blasted, and dispers’d
Like chaff before the wind.
5
Their guilt shall strike the wicked dumb
Before their Judge’s face;
No formal hypocrite shall then
Amongst the saints have place.
6
For God approves the just man’s ways
To happiness they tend;
But sinners, and the paths they tread,
Shall both in ruin end.
