Psalm 1 - "Happiness is for the just only"
 
1. How blest is he who does not loosely tread 
With straying steps by his own planning led;
Nor walks the ways of those who live to eat,
Nor mocks the gospel in the scorner's seat.
But on God's law his heart and life do bind,
Which, night and day, restores his weary mind. 
 
2. He shall be like a freshly planted tree,
Whose roots by springs of water nourish'd be;
Whose branches fail not timely fruit to bear,
Whose leaf shall never wither in despair.
So all the things to which that man does bend 
Shall prosper still with wellsucceeding end. 
 
3. Not so the wicked, but like chaff they fly 
Before the winds of trouble which draw nigh;
Their finest works in Judgment cannot stand;
Imperfect and unfit to join God's band.
For good men's ways by God are known and traced,
But those who stray shall perish in disgrace.
