Psalm 1 parts
*******
Blessed be they that do walk not
In the ungodly\'s lot
Nor follow in their wicked ways
But seek the Lord their days
Nor stand in the way of sinners
Heart not to them bestirs
Nor sits in the seat of scornful
But they hear the Lord\'s call
Enter not path of the wicked
In their way not be led
Go not in the way of evil
It profits none at all
But blessed be they whose delight
Is the Lord\'s law and light
In His law they meditate
Day, night, early, and late
Ponder His word, and talk to self
So find your soul\'s true wealth
Such ones are as trees planted
Beside the river-bed
By rivers of water, channels
On good and fertile soils
They shall bring forth their fruit sure
In seasons evermore
Their leaves shall not wither, they
Commune, and watch and pray
Whatsoever they set to do
It shall prosper anew
For the Lord knows the righteous
Their way, by grace [He knows] e\'en us
But ungodly\'s way it shall
Perish and do not well
