Psalm 1
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.3 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Psalm 1 First Line: Happy the man whose cautious feet Lyrics:
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.
He loves t' employ the morning light
Amongst the statutes of the Lord;
And spends the wakeful hours of night,
With pleasure, pondering o'er his word.
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.
But sinners find their counsels crossed:
As chaff before the tempest flies,
So shall their hopes be blown and lost,
When the last trumpet shakes the skies.
In vain the rebel seeks to stand
In judgment with the pious race;
The dreadful Judge, with stern command,
Divides him to a diff'rent place.
"Straight is the way my saints have trod;
I blessed the path, and drew it plain;
But you would choose the crooked road,
And down it leads to endless pain."

Psalm 1
How blest is he, who ne'er consents
Hymnal: A New Version of the Psalms of David #I (1760) Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: 1 How blest is he, who ne'er consents
by ill Advice to walk;
Nor stands in Sinners Ways, nor fits
where Men profanely talk!
2 But makes the perfect Law of God
his Bus'ness and Delight;
Devoutly reads therein by Day,
and meditates by Night.
3 Like some fair Tree, which, fed by Streams,
with timely Fruit does bend,
He still shall flourish, and Success
all his Designs attend.
4 Ungodly Men, and their Attempts,
no lasting Root shall find;
Untimely blasted, and dispers'd,
like Chaff before the Wind.
5 Their Guilt shall strike the Wicked dumb
before the Judge's Face:
No formal Hypocrite shall then
among the Saints have Place.
6 For God approves the just Man's Ways;
to Happiness they tend:
But Sinners, and the Paths they tread,
shall both in Ruin end. Languages: English
How blest is he, who ne'er consents
The Difference between the Righteous and the Wicked
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David #Ic (1785) Scripture: Psalm 1 First Line: Happy the man, whose cautious feet 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
Among 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 heaven will shine with kindest beams,
On ev'ry work his hands begin.
4 But sinners find their counsels cross'd;
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 bless'd the path, and drew it plain;
"But you would chuse the crooked road;
"And down it leads to endless pain. Languages: English
