The rush may rise where waters flow, and flags beside the stream; But soon their verdure fades and dies before the scorching beam: 2 So is the sinner’s hope cut off; or, if it transient rise, ’Tis like the spider’s airy web, from ev’ry breath that flies. 3 Fix’d on his house he leans; his house and all its props decay: He holds it fast; but, while he holds, the tott’ring frame gives way. 4 Fair, in his garden, to the sun, his boughs with verdure smile; And, deeply fix’d, his spreading roots unshaken stand a while. 5 But forth the sentence flies from Heav’n, that sweeps him from his place; Which then denies him for its lord, nor owns it knew his face. 6 Lo! this the joy of wicked men, who Heav’n’s high laws despise: They quickly fall; and in their room as quickly others rise. 7 But, for the just, with gracious care, God will his pow’r employ; He’ll teach their lips to sing his praise, and fill their hearts with joy.
