Psalm I

Psalme I.

1. Man bleſt no doubt : who walketh not out,
in wicked mens affayres :
And ſtondth no daie : in ſinners waigh
nor ſitth in ſcorners chayres.

2. But holdth euen ſtill : Gods lawe in will,
with all his hartes delight :
And will him vſe : on it to muſe,
to kéepe it day and night.

3. He like ſhall bée : the planted trée,
nie ſet the riuers course :
Which fruth in tyde : whose leaues abide,
all proſperth what he doeſe.

4. Not ſo, not ſo : the wicked do,
lyke duſt or chaffe they bée :
Uphoyſt by winde : as light by kynde,
from face of earth to ſée.

5. Therefore theſe men : ſo wicked then,
in iudgement ſhall not ſtand :
Nor ſinners bée : in companie,
of righteous men of hand.

6. The Lord doth know : and will auow,
mans wayes that are of God :
Where ſhall decaie : the beaten waie,
of wicked men ſo brode.

O Bleſſed father make vs to be as fruitfull trees before thy preſence, so watered by the dewe of thy grace, that we may glorifie thee, by the plenteouſnes of ſweete fruite in our daily conuerſation, thorough Chriſt our Lorde, Amen.
