PSAL. I. Done into Verse 1653 by John Milton Lyrics

         BLESS'D is the man who hath not walk'd astray
         In counsel of the wicked, and ith'way
         Of sinners hath not stood, and in the seat
         Of scorners hath not sate. But in the great
         Jehovahs Law is ever his delight,
         And in his law he studies day and night.

         He shall be as a tree which planted grows
         By watry streams, and in his season knows
         To yield his fruit, and his leaf shall not fall.

         And what he takes in hand shall prosper all.
         Not so the wicked, but as chaff which fann'd
         The wind drives, so the wicked shall not stand
         In judgment, or abide their tryal then
         Nor sinners in th'assembly of just men.

         For the Lord knows th'upright way of the just
         And the way of bad men to ruine must.
