The Hundred Twenty-eighth
Douglas Blair 1951 (London)
Do you fear Him
And seek His heart at
Every turning point.
First to call for counsel
His Spirit will anoint.
The upright are the ones
Transformed, yes changed
To gladder men.
Prosperity and peace of mind
The heritage, you ken?
So keep accounts.
Repent when urged.
Your Wife and bairns will know
The table blessed
Beyond compare
The King who loves you so.
(Read the full Psalm 128)
