English poem
Another Metre
by Henry Dunster (1618–1684)
They blessed are the LORD that fear, that walk on in his way. 2 For thou shalt feed on thine hands deed thou happy art I say: Yea it shall bee full well with thee. 3 Thy wife shall be like to A fruitfull Vine, that up by thine house sides doth flourishing grow.
Thy children round thy table found, as Olive branches are. 4 Behold thus hee shall blessed bee that doth Jehovah fear 5 From Sion hill Jehovah will a blessing give thee then: And thou shalt see prosperitie upon Jerusalem;
Ev'n all the dayes that thy life stayes, 6 Yea thou shalt see in weal Thy children then with their children: and peace on Israel.
