Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Righteous And Wicked Contrasted Lyrics: 1 That man is blest who, fearing God, From sin restrains his feet, Who will not stand with wicked men, Who shuns the scorners' seat. 2 Yea, blest is he who makes God's law His portion and delight, And meditates upon that law With gladness day and night. 3 That man is nourished like a tree Set by the river's side; Its leaf is green, its fruit is sure, And thus his works abide. 4 The wicked like the driven chaff Are swept from off 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.
