Psalm I. (Book 1)

David's Tune.

〈♫〉〈♫〉 BLes--sed, O bes-sed Man is he
〈♫〉〈♫〉 that shans the Sin--ners way:
〈♫〉〈♫〉 the coun--sel and the com--pa--ny
〈♫〉〈♫〉 of such as go a--stray:
The scorner's seat that hath abhorr'd:
 [verse 2]  but sets his whole de—light
Upon the Law of God the Lord,
and minds it day and night.

 [verse 3]  He shall be like a Tree, whose Root
is planted near a River;
Which in his season brings forth fruit,
whose leaf shall never wither.
And all he doth is blest of God.
 [verse 4]  Th'ungodly are not so;
But are like chaff disperst abroad,
when stormy wind doth blow,

 [verse 5]  Therefore th'ungodly never must,
nor may the sinner stand
In Congregation of the just,
when Judgment goes in hand.
 [verse 6]  For loe, the way of men upright
the Lord with favour knows:
Whereas the ways shall perish quite
Wherein the sinner goes.
