Psalm 1
Words: The Book of Psalms for Singing
1 O greatly bless-ed is the man
Who walketh not astray
In counsel of ungodly men,
Nor stands in sinner's way
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 He shall be like a tree that grows,
Set by the water side,
Which in its season yields its fruit,
And green its leaves abide;
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 In judgment therefore shall not stand
Such as ungodly are,
Nor in th'assembly of the just
Shall wicked men appear
6 Because the way of godly men
Is to Jehovah known;
Whereas the way of wicked men
Shall quite be overthrown.
