Psalm 25, Part 2: Divine instruction
From The Psalms of David Imitated (1719)
Where shall the man be found
That fears t' offend his God?
That loves the gospel's joyful sound,
And trembles at the rod?
The Lord shall make him know
The secrets of his heart,
The wonders of his cov'nant show,
And all his love impart.
The dealings of his hand
Are truth and mercy still,
With such as to his cov'nant stand,
And love to do his will.
Their souls shall dwell at ease
Before their Maker's face;
Their seed shall taste the promises
In their extensive grace.
