THE

PSALMS OF DAVID.

IN METRE.

PSALM 1.

THAT man hath perfect blessedness
who walketh not astray
In counsel of ungodly men,
nor stands in sinners' way,
Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair:
But placeth his delight

2

Upon God's law, and meditates
on his law day and night.

3 He shall be like a tree that grows
near planted by a river,

4

Which in his season yields his fruit, and his leaf fadeth never:

And all he doth shall prosper well.

The wicked are not so;

But like they are unto the chaff,

which wind drives to and fro.

5 In judgment therefore shall not stand such as ungodly are;
