The Lord will bless a righteous soul
And give him favor as a shield.
All His workings in that life
Will bring about a bounteous yield.
That life with love will brightly shine
And be as manna to the world.
The joy and wisdom which reside
Will be a mighty flag unfurled.
Righteousness is strong and wise
And has perspective which is clear.
You will be a righteous one,
If to God you will draw near.
“For thou, Lord, wilt bless the righteous; with favour
wilt thou compass him as with a shield.”
Psalm 5:12 KJV
