36. THE FIRST PSALM.
Blessed is he, who hath not been
In counsel with th' ungodly men,
Nor in the sinners' way is seen,
Nor sitteth in the scorner's seat:
But in the law of the Most High
His delight and joy doth lie,
And in his law unceasingly
He day and night doth meditate.
In counsel with th' ungodly men,
Nor in the sinners' way is seen,
Nor sitteth in the scorner's seat:
But in the law of the Most High
His delight and joy doth lie,
And in his law unceasingly
He day and night doth meditate.
He shall be planted, like a tree,
By streams of water pleasantly,
Which in it's season fruit doth see;
His leaf also shall not decay,
And that, whichever he shall do,
Shall live: th' ungodly are not so,
But like the chaff, which to and fro
The wind hath scattered away.
By streams of water pleasantly,
Which in it's season fruit doth see;
His leaf also shall not decay,
And that, whichever he shall do,
Shall live: th' ungodly are not so,
But like the chaff, which to and fro
The wind hath scattered away.
175
Therefore th' ungodly shall not stand
I' th' judgment, or the Sinners' band
I' th' congregation of the just:
For the Lord knoweth well the pure,
But th' ungodly shall not endure,
Their way shall perish in the dust.
I' th' judgment, or the Sinners' band
I' th' congregation of the just:
For the Lord knoweth well the pure,
But th' ungodly shall not endure,
Their way shall perish in the dust.
