MHRPC: Psalm 1A

Psalm 1A: Psalm 1

Arlington, C.M. [G]

1. ¹ O greatly blessed is the man
        Who walketh not astray
In counsel of ungodly men,
        Nor stands in sinners' way,

2. Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair,
        ² But placeth his delight
Upon GOD's law, and meditates
        On His law day and night.

3. ³ He shall be like a tree that grows
        Set by the waterside,
Which in its season yields its fruit,
        And green its leaves abide;

4. And all he does shall prosper well.
        ⁴ The wicked are not so,
But are like chaff which by the wind
        Is driven to and fro.

5. ⁵ In judgment therefore shall not stand
        Such as ungodly are,
Nor in th' assembly of the just
        Shall wicked men appear.

6. ⁶ Because the way of godly men
        Is to Jehovah known;
Whereas the way of wicked men
        Shall quite be overthrown.
