Giesen, 88.88.88. [F]
| 1. |
1 How blessed the man who does not walk
Where wicked men would guide his feet,
Nor stands in paths with sinful men,
Nor sits upon the scorner's seat.
2 Jehovah's law is his delight,
His meditations day and night.

| 2. |
3 He shall be like a growing tree
Implanted by the waterside
Which in its season bears its fruit
And has a leaf that does not fade.
In all that may his hands employ
He shall prosperity enjoy.
|
| 3. |
4 Not so the wicked; they are all
Like chaff the wind will drive away.
5 They shall not in the judgment stand,
Nor sinners with the righteous stay.
6 The LORD the way of just men knows;
The wicked to destruction goes.
