A Wisdom Psalm
How blest are they who venture not
Into the dark and sinful way,
But find delight in God's own law,
And contemplate it night and day.
As trees beside the stream they grow
And flourish, wholesome fruit they bear;
The wicked lot are cast aside
And lost to their own dark despair.
The judgment of the LORD is sure
And good to those who seek God's face;
The righteous find themselves redeemed,
And heirs to God's all-knowing grace.
