1 How blest the man whose sins the Lord
Has pardoned in his grace,
All whose transgressions are removed,
And covered from his face.

2 How blest the man to whom the Lord
Imputeth not his sin;
And in whose spirit is no guile,
Nor fraud is found therein.

3 Surely, when floods and waters great
Do swell up to the brim,
They shall not overwhelm his soul,
Nor once come near to him.
