The Happy Man

Verse 1

That 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:

Verse 2

But placeth his delight Upon God's law, and meditates on his law day and night.

Verse 3

He 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.

Verse 4

The wicked are not so; But like they are unto the chaff, which wind drives to and fro.

Verse 5

In judgment therefore shall not stand such as ungodly are; Nor in th' assembly of the just shall wicked men appear.

Verse 6

For why? the way of godly men unto the Lord is known: Whereas the way of wicked men shall quite be overthrown.
