Psalm 119 (Version 01, Part 1)

C.M. (8.6.8.6) Psalm 119 Isaac Watts

Psalm Text

Blest are the undefil'd in heart,

Whose ways are right and clean;

Who never from thy law depart,

But fly front every sin.

Blest are the men that keep thy word,

And practise 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 honour all thy name.

But haughty sinners God will hate,

The proud shall die accurst;

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.
