Psalme 1. Beatus Vir.
1
Blest is the man, whose walks are cleerfrom wicked counsells aire;
To sinners way who stands not neer,
nor sits in scorners chaire.
2
But on the Law of God doth groundthe life of his delight;
And in those holy Precepts bound
his practice day and night.
3
And like the planted tree, that livesthe rills of water neere,
His fruit as duely forth he gives
in season of the yeere.
His leafe, shall neither times decayes,
nor tempests blast suppresse;
So whatsoever he essaies,
shall sort to good successe.
4
Not so, not so, the wicked race,they, like the chaffe shall thrive,
Which from the earths offended face
the winds before them drive.
5
Therefore shall not the wicked stockein judgement stand upright;
Nor with the just the sinfull flocke

6
For how the Just their journie lay,the Lord their Leader knowes:
But wicked doers, with their way,
destruction overthrowes.
