Blest is the Man who shuns the Place
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P1a (1766) Topics: End of Righteous and Wicked; Love of God to the righteous, and hatred to the wicked; Way of Righteous and Wicked Lyrics: 1 Blest is the Man who shuns the Place
Where Sinners love to meet;
Who fears to tread their wicked Ways,
And hates the Scoffer's Seat:
2 But in the Statutes of the Lord
Has plac'd his chief Delight;
By Day he reads or hears the Word,
And meditates by Night.
3 [He like a Plant of gen'rous Kind,
By living Waters set,
Safe from the Storms and blasting Wind,
Enjoys a peaceful State.]
4 Green as the Leaf, and ever fair
Shall his Profession shine;
While Fruit of Holiness appear
Like Clusters on the Vine.
5 Not so the Impious and unjust;
What vain Designs they form!
Their Hopes are blown away like Dust,
Or Chaff before the Storm.
6 Sinners in Judgment shall not stand
Amongst the Sons of Grace,
When Christ the Judge at his right Hand,
Appoints his Saints a Place.
7 His Eye beholds the Path they tread,
His Heart approves it well;
But crooked Ways of Sinners lead
Down to the Gates of Hell.
Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English
Blest is the Man who shuns the Place
The Man is ever blest
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P1b (1766) Topics: End of Righteous and Wicked; Love of God to the righteous, and hatred to the wicked Lyrics: 1 The Man is ever blest
Who shuns the Sinners Ways,
Among their Counsels never stands,
Nor takes the Scorner's Place.
2 But makes the Law of God
His Study and Delight,
Amidst the Labours of the Day,
And Watches of the Night.
3 He like a Tree shall thrive,
With Waters near the Root:
Fresh as the Leaf his Name shall live,
His Works are heav'nly Fruit.
4 Not so th' ungoldy Race,
They no such Blessings find;
Their Hopes shall flee like empty Chaff
Before the driving Wind.
5 How will they bear to stand
Before that Judgement-Seat,
Where all the Saints at Christ's Right-Hand
In full Assembly meet?
6 He knows, and he approves
The Ways the Righteous go;
But Sinners and their Works shall meet
A dreadful Overthrow. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English
The Man is ever blest
Happy the Man, whose cautious Feet
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P1c (1766) Topics: End of Righteous and Wicked; Love of God to the righteous, and hatred to the wicked; Difference between the Righteous and the Wicked Lyrics: 1 Happy the Man, whose cautious Feet
Shun the broad Way that Sinners go,
Who hates the Place where Atheists meet,
And fears to talk as Scoffers do.
2 He loves t' employ his Morning-Light
Amongst the Statutes of the Lord;
And spends the wakeful Hours of Night,
With Pleasure, pond'ring o'er the Word.
3 He like a Plant by gentle Streams,
Shall flourish in immortal Green;
And Heav'n will shine with kindest Beams,
On every Work his Hands begin.
4 But Sinners find their Counsels crost;
As Chaff before the Tempest flies;
So shall their Hopes be blown and lost,
When the last Trumpet shakes the Skies.
5 In vain the Rebel seeks to stand
In Judgment with the pious Race:
The dreadful Judge with stern Command
Divides him to a different Place.
6 "Strait is the Way my Saints have trod,
"I blessed the Path, and drew it plain;
"But you would chuse the crooked Road;
"And down it leads to endless Pain." Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English

But those that on the Lord rely
Shall all the land obtain;
A little while and thou shalt see
That wicked men cut off shall be,
They shall be sought in vain.
3 Yea, thou shalt soon consider well
The place where they were wont to dwell,
And it shall not be found;
But saints shall all the land possess,
And find delight and happiness
where fruits of peace abound.

who in the Lord Jehovah trust,
But God will scorn them all;
The Lord their coming day shall see,
When broken all their pow'r shall be,
And ruin on them fall.
