                        The First Psalm
                        ---------------

        O greatly blessed is the man 
        Who walketh not astray
        In counsel of ungodly men, 
        Nor stands in sinners' way,

        Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair, 
        But placeth his delight
        Upon God's law, and meditates 
        On His law day and night.

        He shall be like a tree that grows
        Set by the waterside,
        Which in its season yields its fruit,
        And green its leaves abide;

        And all he does shall prosper well.  
        The wicked are not so, 
        But are like chaff which by the wind 
        Is driven to and fro.

        In judgement therefore shall not stand
        Such as ungodly are,
        Nor in th'assembly of the just
        Shall wicked men appear.

        Because the way of godly men
        Is to Jehovah known;
        Whereas the way of wicked men
        Shall quite be overthrown.
        
                        - Psalm 1 (in metre & verse for singing)


"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms..."   
                        - Colossians 3:16a (NKJV)
