Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 How blest are they who, fearing God,
from sin restrain their feet,
who will not with the wicked stand,
who shun the scorner's seat.
2 How blest are they who make God's law
their treasure and delight,
and meditate upon that word
with gladness day and night.
3 Their lives are nourished like a tree
set by the river's side;
its leaf is green, its fruit is sure:
so all their works abide.
4 The wicked, like the driven chaff,
are blown across the land;
they shall not gather with the just,
nor in the judgment stand.
5 The Lord will guard the righteous well,
their way to him is known;
the way of sinners, far from God,
shall surely be o'erthrown. Topics: God Justice; God Law of; Judgment; Christian Maturity; Psalms Scripture: Psalm 1 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE (Croft) Text Sources: Psalter, 1912, alt.
