Blest are the undefiled in heart,
Whose ways are right and clean;
Who never from Thy law depart,
But fly from every sin.
Blest are the men
that keep Thy Word,
And practice 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 honor all Thy Name.
But haughty sinners God will hate,
The proud shall die accursed;
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.
---Alternative verses---
Blest are the men that keep Thy Word,
And practice Thy commands;
With their whole heart they seek thee, Lord,
And serve thee with their hands.
