PSALM I.
[Bless'd is the man, and none but he]
Bless'd is the man, and none but he,
Who walks not with ungodly men;
Nor stands their evil deeds to see,
Nor sits the innocent to' arraign;
The persecutor's guilt to share,
Oppressive in the scorner's chair.
Who walks not with ungodly men;
Nor stands their evil deeds to see,
Nor sits the innocent to' arraign;
The persecutor's guilt to share,
Oppressive in the scorner's chair.
Obedience is his pure delight,
To do the pleasure of the Lord;
His exercise by day and night
To search His soul-converting word;
The law of liberty to prove,
The perfect law of life and love.
To do the pleasure of the Lord;
His exercise by day and night
To search His soul-converting word;
The law of liberty to prove,
The perfect law of life and love.
Fast by the streams of Paradise
He as a pleasant plant shall grow;
The tree of righteousness shall rise,
And all his blooming honours show;
Spread out his boughs, and flourish fair,
And fruit unto perfection bear.
He as a pleasant plant shall grow;
The tree of righteousness shall rise,
And all his blooming honours show;
Spread out his boughs, and flourish fair,
And fruit unto perfection bear.

His verdant leaf shall never fade,
His works of faith shall never cease;
His happy toil shall all succeed,
Whom God Himself delights to bless:
But no success the' ungodly find,
Scatter'd like chaff before the wind.
His works of faith shall never cease;
His happy toil shall all succeed,
Whom God Himself delights to bless:
But no success the' ungodly find,
Scatter'd like chaff before the wind.
No portion and no place have they
With those whom God vouchsafes to' approve;
Cast in the dreadful judgment-day,
Who trample on their Saviour's love;
Who here their bleeding Lord deny,
Shall perish, and for ever die.
With those whom God vouchsafes to' approve;
Cast in the dreadful judgment-day,
Who trample on their Saviour's love;
Who here their bleeding Lord deny,
Shall perish, and for ever die.
