Psalm 1
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.
