1 The Good Man's Way is God's Delight:
He orders all the Steps aright
Of Him, who moves by his Command:
Tho' He sometimes may be distress'd,
Yet shall he ne'er be quite oppress'd;
For God upholds him with his Hand.

2 Observe the perfect Man with Care,
And mark all such as upright are'
Their roughest Days in Peace shall end:
While on the latter End of those,
Who dare God's sacred Will oppose,
A common Ruin shall attend.

3 God to the Just will Aid afford;
Their only Safeguard is the Lord,
Their Strength in Time of Need is He;
Because on Him they still depend,
He will his timely Succour send,
And from the Wicked set them free.
