Psalm 1
Words: The Bay Psalm Book (original spelling retained)
1 O blessed man, that in th'advice
of wicked doth not walk
Nor stand in sinners way nor sit
in chayre of scornfull folk.
2 But in the law of Jehova,
is his longing delight;
and in his law doth meditate
by day and ere by night.
3 And he shall be like to a tree
planted by water-rivers:
That in his season yields his fruit
And his leafe never withers.
4 And all he doth, shall prosper well,
the wicked are not so:
But they are like unto the chaffe
which winde drives to and fro.
5 Therefore shall not ungodly men,
rise to stand in the doome,
Nor shall the sinners with the just,
in their assemblie come.
6 For of the righteous men, the Lord
aknowledgeth the way:
but the way of ungodly men,
shall utterly decay.
