1. Blessed they whose delight in the LORD

And in His law, His living word

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Blessings to those who meditate

In His word day, night, early, late

Pleasant, fine, fair, be their estate

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Psalm 1 v.3

2. Like tree planted by rivers they

Shall be, they still shall watch and pray

Alleluia, Alleluia!

That tree brings forth fruit in season

Its leaves not wither, no, not one

They shall prosper in whate'er done

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Psalm 1 v.4

3. Ungodly not so, they as chaff

Shall not enjoy e'en blessings half

Alleluia, Alleluia!

And as chaff they be blown away

Soon as does come a windy day

They shall not last, they shall not stay

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Psalm 3 v.3

4. You, O LORD, are a shield for me

Guard me and keep me company

Alleluia, Alleluia!

You my glory, you lift my head

Give me joy for mourning instead

My needy state you did see, view

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Psalm 5 v.11

5. Let all that trust in you rejoice

And shout for joy all with one vice

Alleluia, Alleluia!

For you defend them by your power

Keep them through every day and hour

Those that love your name shall joy, flower

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Psalm 4 v.8

6. I will lay me down, now in peace

And sleep, my troubled thoughts shall cease

Alleluia, Alleluia!

For it is you, LORD, who do make

Me to dwell safely for your sake

You still with me when I awake

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!

Psalm 5 v.3

7. And in the morning you shall hear

My voice LORD, I love you and fear

Alleluia, Alleluia!

Morning, noon, night I still shall pray

Look up to you, e'er with me stay

You constantly present alway

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
