How blest are they, who fearing God

Hymnal: TBP1997 #1 (1997) First Line: How blest are they, who, fearing God Lyrics: 1 How blest are they, who, fearing God, from sin restrain their feet, who will not with the wicked stand, and 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 judgement stand. 5 The Lord will guard the righteous well; their way to God is known, the way of sinners, far from God, shall surely be o'erthrown.

Then do not be unruly or slow to understand; be not perverse, but willing to heed my wise command. 5 The sorrows of the wicked increase from year to year, but those who trust the Lord God know love instead of fear.
