Psalm I.
1.
Man blessed no doubt : who walketh not out,
in wicked mens’ affairs :
And stands no day : in sinners’ way
nor sits in scorners’ chairs.
in wicked mens’ affairs :
And stands no day : in sinners’ way
nor sits in scorners’ chairs.
2.
But holds even still : God’s law in will,
with all his heart’s delight :
And will him use : on it to muse,
to keep it day and night.
with all his heart’s delight :
And will him use : on it to muse,
to keep it day and night.
3.
He like shall be : the planted tree,
nigh set the river’s course :
Which fruits in tide : whose leaves abide,
all prospers what he does.

4.
Not so, not so : the wicked do,
like dust or chaff they be :
Uphoist by wind : as light by kind,
from face of earth to see.

5.
Therefore these men : so wicked then,
in judgement shall not stand :
Nor sinners be : in company,
of righteous men of hand.

Nor sinners be : in company,
of righteous men of hand.
6.
The Lord doth know : and will avow,
man’s ways that are of God :
Where shall decay : the beaten way,
of wicked men so broad.

The Collect.
O Blessed father make us to
be as fruitful trees before thy presence, so watered by the dew of thy grace,
that we may glorify thee, by the plenteousness of sweet fruit in our daily
consecration, through Christ our Lord, Amen.
