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.
