Happy the Man Who Feareth God

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 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.

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

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