Blest are the un­de­filed in heart,
Whose ways are right and clean;
Who ne­ver from Thy law de­part,
But fly from every sin.

Blest are the men that keep Thy Word,
And prac­tice Thy com­mands;
With their whole heart they seek the Lord,
And serve thee with their hands.

Great is their peace who love Thy law;
How firm their souls abide!
Nor can a bold temp­ta­tion draw
Their stea­dy feet aside.

Then shall my heart have in­ward joy,
And keep my face from shame,
When all Thy sta­tutes I ob­ey,
And hon­or all Thy name.

But haugh­ty sin­ners God will hate,
The proud shall die ac­curs­ed;
The sons of false­hood and de­ceit
Are trod­den to the dust.

Vile as the dross the wick­ed are;
And those that leave Thy ways
Shall see sal­va­tion from afar,
But ne­ver taste Thy grace.
