1 BLESSED is he who ne'er hath lent

To wicked men his ear,
Nor trod in sinful paths, nor sat

The scorner's voice to hear ;
2 But in the law of God the Lord

Hath plac'd his whole delight,
Therein is exercis'd by day,

And meditates by night.
3 This man shall prosper like a tree

Planted the waters nigh, Whose boughs, unwith’ring, duly still

Their plenteous fruit supply. 4 For God approves the just man's ways,

To happiness they tend ;
But sinners and the paths they tread

Shall both in ruin end.
