1 Dicha grande es la del hombre
cuyas sendas rectas son;
No anda con los pecadores,
en actuar de perversión.
A los malos consejeros

Meditando noche y día
en su divinal saber;
Este, como el árbol verde,
bien regado y en sazón,
Frutos abundantes rinde
y hojas que perennes son.

3 Él prosperado en lo que emprende
y le sale todo bien;
Mas funestos resultados
los impíos siempre ven;
Porque Dios la senda mira
por la cual los suyos van;
Otra es la de los impíos:
al infierno bajarán.
