Featus vir. Psal. cxii.

W. K.

THe man is blest that God doth fear,
And that his law doth love indeed:
 [verse 2]  His seed on earth God will uprear,
And ••less such as from him proceed.
 [verse 3]  His house with good he will fulfil,
His righteousness endure shall still.

 [verse 4]  Unto the righteous doth arise
In trouble joy, in darkness light.
Compassion is in his eyes,
And mercy always in his sight.
 [verse 5]  Yea, pity moveth such to lend,
He doth by judgement things expend.

 [verse 6]  And surely such shall never fail,
For in remembrance had is he:
 [verse 7]  No tidings ill can make him quail
Who in the Lord sure hope doth see.
 [verse 8]  His heart is firm, his fear is past,
For he shall see his foes down cast.

 [verse 9]  He did well for the poor provide,
His righteousness shall still remain:
And his estate with praise abide,
Though that the wicked man disdain.
 [verse 10]  Yea, gnash his teeth thereat shall he,
And so consume his state to see.
