O blessed man who walks not in The counsel of ungodly men

Verse 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.

Verse 2

But In Jehovah's written law He takes exceeding great delight; And in his law he meditates With pious pleasure day and night.

Verse 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.

Verse 4

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

Verse 5

Therefore in judgment shall not stand Such as ungodly are, as clear; Nor in the assembly of the just Shall sinners in that day appear.

Verse 6

Because the way of righteous men The Lord with approbation knows; Whereas the way of evil men To their entire destruction goes.
