PSALM S.

PSALM I.-(0.V.)

The blessedness of the righteous.

1 BLESSED is he who ne'er hath lent
To wicked men his ear,
Nor trod in sinful paths, nor sat
The scorner's voice to hear;

2 But in the law of God the Lord
Hath plac'd his whole delight,
Therein is exercis'd by day,
And meditates by night.

3 This man shall prosper like a tree
Planted the waters nigh,

Whose boughs, unwith'ring, duly still
Their plenteous fruit supply.

4 For God approves the just man's ways, To happiness they tend ;

But sinners and the paths they tread
Shall both in ruin end.
