I have been young

And now I'm old;

The days ordained from God's book I'm living out

As they unfold.

Through years of plenty

And years of lean

So many days of my life... and yet

This I've never seen:

 

The righteous forsaken

His children begging bread!

For those who trust in the LORD and do good

They shall be fed!

Wait on the LORD and keep His way!

And He shall exalt thee to inherit

The land someday!

 

Blessed be the humble!

Blessed be the meek!

For they shall inherit the earth!
