from sin restrain their feet,
who will not with the wicked stand,
and shun the scorner's seat.
2 How blest are they who make God's law
their treasure and delight,
and meditate upon that word
with gladness day and night.
3 Their lives are nourished like a tree
set by the river's side;
its leaf is green; its fruit is sure;
so all their works abide.
4 The wicked, like the driven chaff,
are blown across the land;
they shall not gather with the just,
nor in the judgement stand.
5 The Lord will guard the righteous well;
their way to God is known,
the way of sinners, far from God,
shall surely be o'erthrown. Scripture: Psalm 1 Used With Tune: TALLIS' ORDINAL Text Sources: Paraphrase, Psalter 1912, alt.
