PSALM 1
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1That 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:
2But placeth his delight
Upon God's law, and meditates
on his law day and night.
3He shall be like a tree that grows
near planted by a river,
Which in his season yields his fruit,
and his leaf fadeth never:
And all he doth shall prosper well
4The wicked are not so;
But like they are unto the chaff,
which wind drives to and fro.
5In judgment therefore shall not stand
such as ungodly are;
Nor in th' assembly of the just
shall wicked men appear.
6For why? the way of godly men
unto the Lord is known:
Whereas the way of wicked men
shall quite be overthrown.

Psalm 1
The Two Ways
1 #
Job 21.16; Ps 17.4; 26.5; Prov 4.14; Jer 15.17 Happy are those
who do not follow the advice of the wicked
or take the path that sinners tread
or sit in the seat of scoffers,
2 #
Josh 1.8; Ps 119.35 but their delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law they meditate day and night.
3 #
Gen 39.3; Ps 128.2; Jer 17.8; Ezek 47.12 They are like trees
planted by streams of water,
which yield their fruit in its season,
and their leaves do not wither.
In all that they do, they prosper.
4 #
Job 21.18; Isa 17.13 The wicked are not so
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5 #
Ps 5.5; 9.7, 8, 16; 111.1; 149.1 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous,
6 #
Ps 9.3–6; 37.18; 2 Tim 2.19 for the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
