202b. That Man is bless''d, who fears the Lord

Hallelujah

1. That Man is bless'd, who fears the Lord,
And in his Law takes great delight.
2. His Seed, on Earth, shail mighty be;
Bless'd shall the Race be of th'Upright.
3. His House, with Plenty, shall abound;
His Justice no Decays shall find.

4. His Light, in Darkness, shall arise;
He's just, compassionate, and kind.
5. A good Man Favour shows, and lends;
And his Affairs, with Prudence, guides.
6. Surely, he never shall be mov'd;
Forever sweet his Name abides.
7. Fearless, he evil Tidings hears;
His Heart is fix'd, on God relies.
8. Secur'd from Fear, he waits to see,
Just Vengeance, on his Enemies.

9. His lib'ral Hand dispers'd his Alms,
And gave the Poor a meet Supply;
His Justice ever shall be prais'd,
His Horn, in Glory, rais'd on high.
10. The Wicked this shall see, and grieve,
Gnash with his Teeth, and melt away;
While their Unjust:, and base Designs,
Blasted, shall utterly decay.
