PIb. O Blessed Man who walks not in

1 O Blessed man who walks not in
The counsel of ungodly men,
Nor stands within the sinners way,
Nor will the scoffers seat sit in.
2 But In JEHOVAH's written law
He takes exceeding great delight;
And in his law he meditates
With pious pleasure day and night.

3 For he is like a goodly tree
By streams of waters planted near;
Which in due season yields its fruit,
Whose leaf shall ever green appear;
And all he does shall prosper still.
4 But the ungodly are not so:
For they are like the chaff which by
The wind is driven to and fro.

5 Therefore in judgment shall not stand,
Such as ungodly are, as clear;
Nor in th' assembly of the just
Shall sinners in that day appear.
6 Because the way of righteous men
The LORD with approbation knows;
Whereas the way of evil men
To their entire destruction goes.
