BLest is the Man that fears the Lord,
and walks in ways taught by God's word:
while such a Joseph, Vice refrains,
to Prison Walls tho bound he be,
he spreads like Egypt's patient Tree,
and bears more Fruit by wearing Chains.

Who e're thou art that fear'st the Lord,
Fearing to sin in work or word,
Plenty, with Ease, shall crown thy Pain;
Thy Hands shall get Wealth that will last,
The Sweets of which thy Lips shall tast,
Doubling, by relishing, thy Gain.
* 1.1 Thy Wife shall, like a fruitful Vine,
Deck thy House-side, as well as thine,
And see thine Off-spring shade thy Board;
As pleasant Olive-Plants are set,
To grace and guard thee at thy Meat,
Thus art thou Blest that fear'st the Lord,
In heav'n thrice happy shalt thou be,
As here below 'tis well with thee,
Thy Joys from Sion still encrease;
Thine Age to three Descents shall see
Thine Issue fair, thy Nation free;
And (what is best) on Israel Peace.
As here below 'tis well with thee,
In Heav'n thrice happy shalt thou be,
From Sion's shall thy Joys encrease;
Thou shalt out-live one Age, to see
Good on thy Land and Family,
And (which is best) on IsraelPeace,
Gloria Patri, &c.
Glory be to the Father, Son,
And Holy-Ghost, the Three in One,
Whose Deity we shall adore;
Since ev'ry Person of the Three
For ever was, shall ever be,
And is, God Blessed evermore.
