Psalm 1
The man, in life wherever placed
Hath happiness in store,
Who walks not in the wicked's way,
nor learns their guilty lore!
Nor from the seat of scornful pride
Casts forth his eyes abroad,
But with humility and awe
Still walks before his God.
That man shall flourish like the trees
Which by the streamlets grow;
The fruitful top is spread on high And firm the root below
But he whose blossom buds in guilt
Shall to the ground be cast
And like the rootless stubble, tost
Before the sweeping blast.

Which by the streamlets grow;
The fruitful top is spread on high And firm the root below
But he whose blossom buds in guilt
Shall to the ground be cast
And like the rootless stubble, tost
Before the sweeping blast.
