O blessed man that walks not in The counsel of ill men

Verse 1

O blessed man who walks not in the counsel of ill men, Nor stands within the sinners way; nor scoffers seat sits in.

Verse 2

But on Jehovah's written law he places his delight; And in his law he meditates, with pleasure day and night.

Verse 3

For he is like a goodly tree by rivers planted near; Which timely yields its fruit, whose leaf shall ever green appear: And all he does shall prosper still.

Verse 4

The ungodly are not so; But like the chaff which by the wind is driven to and fro.

Verse 5

Therefore in judgement shall not stand such as ungodly are; Nor in the assembly of the just shall sinful men appear.

Verse 6

Because the way of righteous men The Lord approves and knows; Whereas the way of evil men to sure destruction goes.
