Verse 1
Happy the man who feareth God, Whose feet His holy
ways have trod; Thine own good hand shall nourish
thee, And well and happy shalt thou be.
Verse 2
Thy wife shall, like a fruitful vine, Fill all thy house with
clusters fine; Thy children all be fresh and
sound, Like olive-plants thy table round.
Verse 3
Lo! to the man these blessings cleave Who in God's holy
fear doth live; From him the ancient curse hath
fled By Adam's race inherited.
Verse 4
Out of Mount Zion God shall send, And crown with joy thy
latter end; That thou Jerusalem mayst
see, In favor and prosperity.
Verse 5
He shall be with thee in thy ways, And give thee health and
length of days Yea, thou shalt children's children
see, And peace on Israel shall be.
