CH. 16.

PSALM I.

BLESSED is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the un- godly, Nor standeth in the way of sinners,

nor sitteth in the seat of the | scornful.

S But his delight is the law of the | Lord;

And in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth fruit in his | season; His leaf also shall not wither;

[ocr errors]

and whatsoever he doeth shall | prosper.

The ungodly are not so:- but are like the
chaff which the wind driveth a- [way:

The ungodly shall not stand in judgment,

SYM.

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous:

CH. 15. For the Lord knoweth the way | of.. the | righteous, CH. 16. But the way of the ungodly..shall | perish.

[blocks in formation]

CH. 15. 1 THE man is ever blest

Who shuns the sinner's | ways,
Among their councils never stands,
Nor takes the scorner's | place, -

2 But makes the law of God
His study and de- | light,
Amidst the labors of the day,
And watches of the night.

3 He, like a tree, shall thrive,
With waters near the root;

1

His name fresh as the leaf shall live; -
His works are heavenly | fruit.

CH. 16. 4 Not so th' ungodly race;

[ocr errors]

They no such blessings | find:.
Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff
Before the driving | wind.
