Psalm CXII.

1

He's happy, who the Lord dos fear,
And in his Laws delight;

2

His Seed shall great on Earth appear,
And blest shall be th' Upright.
253

3

Wealth in his House abundant lies,
His Justice still is sure;

4

In Darkness, Light to him shall rise,
He's Gracious, Good and Pure.

5

The Righteous freely gives and lends,
Affairs discreetely guides,

6

His Suff'rings ne'er in Ruin ends,
And still his Name abides.

7

He'll undismay'd bad Tydings hear,
In God he finds repose;

8

His Heart is fix'd, nor will he fear,
Till He subdues his Foes.

9

He to the Poor Good-will has born,
And did their Wants supply;
Fix'd is his Justice, and his Horn
Shall be exalted high.

10

This shall the Wicked see in Pain,
Shall gnash his Teeth and pine;
Nor shall th' Unjust his Wishes gain,
Or compass his Design.
