Isaac Watts - Psalm I: The Man Is Ever Blessed
Work rating: Low

The man is ever bless`d
       Who shuns the sinners` ways,
Among their councils never stands,
       Nor takes the scorner`s place;

But makes the law of God
       His study and delight,
Amidst the labours of the day,
       And watches of the night.

He like a tree shall thrive,
       With waters near the root;
Fresh as the leaf his name shall live;
       His works are heav`nly fruit.

Not so the ungoodly race,
       They no such blessings find;
Their hopes shall flee, like empty chaff
       Before the driving wind.

How will they bear to stand
       Before that judgement-seat,
When all the saints, at Christ`s right hand,
       In full assembly meet.

He knows, and he approves,
       The way the righteous go;
But sinners and their works shall meet
       A dreadful overthrow.
