by Bible or other Sacred Texts
Translation by Matthew Parker, Archbishop (1504 - 1575)

Man blest no doubt
Language: English  after the Latin 
Man blest no doubt who walk'th not out
In wicked men's affairs,
And stand'th no day in sinner's way
Nor sit'th in scorner's chairs;
But hath his will in God's law still,
This law to love aright,
And will him use, on it to muse,
To keep it day and night.
