Blest is the man, who shuns the place by Friedrich Ernst Fesca — Lyrics
1. Blest is the man, who shuns the place
Where sinners love to meet;
Who fears to tread their wicked ways,
And hates the scoffer’s seat.

About Blest is the man, who shuns the place
The opening verses of this text paint a picture of a righteous individual, secure and flourishing like a well-watered plant, deliberately avoiding the company of the wicked and the scornful. Friedrich Ernst Fesca’s setting of these words for SATB choir captures the steadfastness and peace described. This sacred work is suitable for choirs seeking a thoughtful and reassuring anthem, with its clear musical lines supporting the psalm’s message of divine protection for the faithful.
