Psalms of David 1

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