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.

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.

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.

4 Out of Mount Zion God shall send,
And crown with joy thy latter end,
That thou Jerusalem mayst see
In favor and prosperity.

5 He shall be with thee in thy ways,
And give thee health and strength of days;
Yea, thou shalt children’s children see,
And peace on Israel shall be.

6 Praise God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One;
As't was through ages heretofore,
Is now, and shall be evermore.
