Blest Are They Who Delight 

In the law of the Lord. 

Happy indeed are the ones 

Who follow not the counsel of the wicked, 

Nor linger in the way of sinners, 

Mor sit in the company of scorners, 

But who delight in the law of the Lord 

And who ponder his law day and night. 

They are like trees that are planted 

Beside the flowing waters, 

That yield their fruit in due season 

And whose leaves shall never fade; 

And all that they do shall prosper. 

Not so are the wicked, not so! 

For they like winnowed chaff, 

Shall be driven away by the wind. 

When the wicked are judged, they shall not stand, 

Nor find room among those who are just, 

For the Lord guards the way of the just, 

But the way of the wicked leads to doom.
