001) Psalm 1
8.6.8.6.
1 How blest is he who ne’er consents by ill advice to walk; Nor stands in sinners’ ways nor sits where men profanely talk.
2 But makes the perfect law of God his business and delight;
Devoutly reads therein by day, and meditates by night.
3 Like some fair tree, which, fed by streams, with timely fruit does bend, He still shall flourish, and success all his designs attend.
4 Ungodly men and their attempts no lasting root shall find;
Untimely blasted, and dispers’d like chaff before the wind.
5 Their guilt shall strike the wicked dumb before their Judge’s face; No formal hypocrite shall then amongst the saints have place.
6 For God approves the just man’s ways, to happiness they tend; But sinners, and the paths they tread, shall both in ruin, end.
