1 How blessed the perfect in the way,
who from GOD's law do not depart,

2 Yea, they are kept from paths of sin
who walk in God's appointed way;
Thy precepts Thou hast given us
that we should faithfully obey.

no more shall I be brought to shame
when I regard Thy holy will.

4 Upon Thy precepts and Thy ways
my heart will meditate with awe;
Thy word shall be my chief delight,
and I will not forget Thy law.
