Бёрд Уильям - Blessed is he that fears the Lord - ноты, текст песни (слова)

Blessed is he that fears the Lord,
 He walketh in his ways, 
 And sets his great delight therein,
 The length of all his days.
 His seed, and those which of him come,
 Mighty on earth shall be:
 The race of such as faithful are,
 Men blessed them shall see.
 Plenteousness within his house,
 and want there shall be never,
 His righteous and upright dealing
 Endure shall for ever.
 In misty clouds of troubles dark,
 Which do the just oppress,
 The Lord in mercy send them light
 And easeth their distress.
 The righteous man is merciful
 And lendeth where is need;
 He guides with judgement all his things
 Be it in word or deed.
 Though storms do fall and tempests rise,
 The righteous shall stand fast,
 A good remembrance of the just
 For ever that shall last.
 None evil tidings shall him fear,
 His heart is fully set;
 He trusteth and believes the Lord,
 That will not him forget.
 A stablished heart within his breast,
 No fear where so he goes;
 The Lord in justice will revenge
 The malice of his foes.
 A hand that doth relieve the poor,
 For which he may be sure
 A good report will follow him.
 That always shall endure.
 This shall the wicked see and fret
 And waste away with ire,
 Perish shall and consume to nought
 All that he doth desire.
 (Anonymous metrical version of Psalm 112)
