Psalm 1

That man is blest and blest agen
That doth not walk astray,
By counsels of ungodly men,
Nor stands in sinners way,
Nor sits in seate of scornfull mates:
But in Gods law delights,
And t•ereupon he meditates
Continuall daies and nights.
Like planted tree by water-springs,
Such one shall he be made,
Which in his season fruit forth-brings,
Whose leaf shall never fade.
All shall succeed by him design'd;
Th' ungodly are not so,
But like the chaff which boyst'rous winde
Drives eas'ly to and fro.
Therefore th' ungodly never must,
Nor any sinner may
In Congregation of the Just,
Stand up at Judgement day.
For lo the way of men upright,
The Lord with favour knowes:
Whereas the way shall perish quite
Wherein the sinner goes.
