How blest is he who ne'er consents By ill advice to walk; Nor stands in sinners' ways, nor sits Where men profanely talk: But makes the perfect law of God His business and delight; Devoutly reads therein by day, And meditates by night. For God approves the just man's ways, To happiness they tend; But sinners, and the paths they tread, Shall both in ruin end.
