Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFG HIJI KLLL BLML| The man in life wherever plac'd | A |
| Hath happiness in store | B |
| Who walks not in the wicked's way | C |
| Nor learns their guilty lore | B |
| - | |
| Nor from the seat of scornful pride | D |
| Casts forth his eyes abroad | E |
| But with humility and awe | F |
| Still walks before his God | G |
| - | |
| That man shall flourish like the trees | H |
| Which by the streamlets grow | I |
| The fruitful top is spread on high | J |
| And firm the root below | I |
| - | |
| But he whose blossom buds in guilt | K |
| Shall to the ground be cast | L |
| And like the rootless stubble tost | L |
| Before the sweeping blast | L |
| - | |
| For why that God the good adore | B |
| Hath giv'n them peace and rest | L |
| But hath decreed that wicked men | M |
| Shall ne'er be truly blest | L |
