THE

PSALMS OF DAVID.

PSALM 1. C. M.

(*)

The way and end of the righteous and the wicked.

1

Bwhere sinners love to meet;

is the man who shuns the place

Who fears to tread their wicked ways,
And hates the scoffer's seat:

2 But in the statutes of the Lord
Has plac'd his chief delight;
By day he reads or hears the word,
And meditates by night.

3 [He, like a plant of generous kind,
By living waters set,

Safe from the storms and blasting wind,
Enjoys a peaceful state.]

4 Green as the leaf, and ever fair
Shall his professions shine;
While fruits of holiness appear
Like clusters on the vine.

5 Not so th' impious and unjust;
What vain designs they forin!

Their hopes are blown away, like dust,
Or chaff before the storm

6 Sinners in judgment shall not stand Amongst the sons of grace,

When Christ the Judge, at his right hand
Appoints his saints a place.

7 His eye beholds the path they tread,
His heart approves it well;
But crooked ways of sinners lead
Down to the gates of hell

2

[ocr errors]

PSALM 1. S. M.

The saint happy, the sinner miserable.

THE man is ever blest

Who shuns the sinners' ways,
Amongst 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.

5

He like a tree shall thrive,
With waters near the root;
Fresh as the leaf his name shall live,
heavenly fruit.

His works are

Not so th' ungodly race,
Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff
They no such blessings find:
Before the driving wind.

How will they bear to stand
Before that judgment seat,

[ocr errors]

Where all the saints &t Christ's right hand
In full assembly meet?

6 He knows, and he approves, The way the righteous go;

1

But sinners, and their works, shall meet
A dreadful overthrow.

PSALM 1. L. M.

[*]

The difference between the righteous and the

wicked.

Hshun the broad way which sinners go;

APPY the man, whose cautious feet

Who hates the place where Atheists meet,
And fears to talk as scoffers do.

2 He loves t' employ his morning light
Amongst the statutes of the Lord;
And spends the wakeful hours of night
With pleasure, pond'ring o'er his word.
8 He, like a plant, by gentle streams,
Shall flourish in immortal green;

And heaven will shine with kindest beams,
On every work his hands begin.

But sinners find their counsels cross'd:
As chaff before the tempest flies,
So shall their hopes be blown and lost,
When the last trumpet shakes the skies.

5 In vain the rebel seeks to stand

In judgment with the pious race;
The dreadful Judge with stern command,
Divides him to a different place.

6 "Straight is the way my saints, have trod,
"I best the path, and drew it plain,
"But you would choose the crooked road;
"And down it leads to endless pain."

PSALM 2. S. M.

[*]

Translated according to the divine pattern Acts iv. 24, &c.

Christ dying, rising, interceding, and reigning MAKER, and sov'reign Lord

1

Of heav'n, and earth, and seas,
Thy providence confirms thy word
And answers thy decrees.

2 The things so long foretold
By David are fulfill'd,

When Jews and Gentiles join to slay
Jesus, thine holy child.]

8 Why did the Gentiles: rage,
And Jews with one accord,
Bend all their counsels to destroy
Th' Anointed of the Lord?

4 Rulers and kings agree

To form a vain design;

Against the Lord their pow'rs unite,
Against his Christ they join

5 The Lord derides their rage,
And will support his throne;

He who hath rais'd him from the dead
Hath own'd him for his Son.

PAUSE.

Now he's ascended high,

And asks to rule the earth;
The merit of his blood he pleads,
And pleads his heavenly birth.

7. He asks, and God bestows
A large inheritance:
