Beatus vir. Psal. i. [Blessed is the man. Psalm 1.] T.S. [Thomas Sternhold]
This Psalme is set first as a preface, to exhort al
godly men to studie and meditate the heavenly
wisedome: for they be blessed that do so: but the
wicked contemners thereof at length shall come
to misery.
The man is blest that hath not bent,
to wicked men read his eare:
Nor led his life as sinners doe,
nor sate in scorners chaire.
2. But in the law of God the Lord,
doth set his whole delight:
And in that law doth exercise
himselfe both day and night.
3 He shall be like the tree that groweth
fast by the rivers side:
Which bringeth forth most pleasant fruit
in her due time and tide.
Whose leafe shall never fade nor fall,
but flourish still and stand:
Even so all things shall prosper well
that this man takes in hand.
