Blessed Is Each One That Fears the Lord

Blessed is each one that fears the Lord

from the Scottish Psalter, 1650 · 8.6.8.6

1.Blessed is each one that fears the Lord,
and walketh in his ways;
For of thy labour thou shall eat,
and happy be always.

2.Thy wife shall as a fruitful vine
by thy house' sides be found:
Thy children like to olive-plants
about thy table round.

3.Behold, the man that fears the Lord,
thus blessed shall he be.
The Lord shall out of Zion give
his blessing unto thee:

4.Thou shalt Jerus'lem's good behold
whilst thou on earth dost dwell.
Thou shalt thy children's children see,
and peace on Israel.
