Isaac Watts - Psalm 37 part 2
Work rating: Low

v.16,21,26-31 
C. M.
Charity to the poor.

Why do the wealthy wicked boast,
And grow profanely bold?
The meanest portion of the just
Excels the sinner`s gold.

The wicked borrows of his friends,
But ne`er designs to pay;
The saint is merciful and lends,
Nor turns the poor away.

His alms with lib`ral heart he gives
Amongst the sons of need;
His mem`ry to long ages lives,
And blessed is his seed.

His lips abhor to talk profane,
To slander or defraud;
His ready tongue declares to men
What he has learned of God.

The law and gospel of the Lord
Deep in his heart abide;
Led by the Spirit and the word,
His feet shall never slide.

When sinners fall, the righteous stand,
Preserved from every snare;
They shall possess the promised land,
And dwell for ever there.
