PSALM 1. c. M.

The righteous and the wicked contrasted.'

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 doth bend,

He still shall flourish, and success
All his designs attend.

4 Not so the ungodly, they, alas!
No lasting root shall find;
For they are driven away like dust,
Or chaff before the wind.

PSALM 2. c. M.

Messiah's Exaltation.

1 ATTEND, O earth, whilst I declare
God's uncontroll'd decree;

"Thou art my son, this day my heir
"Have I begotten thee.

"Ask and receive thy full demands;
"Thine shall the heathen be;
"The utmost limits of the lands
"Shall be possess'd by thee."

3 Be wise, ye rulers of the earth,
Obey the anointed Lord;

Adore the King of heavenly birth,
And tremble at his word.

4 With humble love address his throne;
For if he frown, ye die:
Those are secure, and those alone,
Who on his grace rely.

1 THOU, Lord, art my secure defence,
On thee my hopes rely;
Thou art my glory and my help
When any danger's nigh.

2 Guarded by thee, I laid me down
My sweet repose to take;

For I through thee securely sleep,
Through thee in safety wake.

3 Salvation to the Lord belongs,
He only can defend;
His blessing he extends to all
Who on his name depend.

1 HEAR me, O God, when near thy throne My earnest cries ascend;

I plead thy righteousness alone,
And on thy grace depend.
