I.
1
The man is blessed verilieWho walketh not astray
In counsell of vngodlie men,
Nor stands in sinners' way,
2
Nor sitts in scorners' seat, but settsOn God's law his delight,
And stedfastlie his law doth minde
And muse on, day and night.
3
Hee shall be like vnto the treeSett by the river side,
In seasoun due which fruit brings foorth,
Whose leaves ay blooming bide.
4
His workes shall prosper all; not soVngodlie men, for they
Shall be like chaffe, which stormie wynds
Sweep suddenlie away.
5
In judgment therfore shall not standMen wicked and profane,
Nor sinners, where the righteous flock
Assembled do remaine.
6
For, who so righteous paths persue,The Lord doth know their way;
But perrish shall the way of sin,
Wherin the wicked stray.
