THE

PSALMS OF DAVID,

IMITATED IN THE LANGUAGE OF THE

NEW TESTAMENT.

PSALM 1. C. M. York. Canterbury. [*]
The Way and End of the Righteous and of the Wicked.

LEST is the man who shuns the place,
Where sinners love to meet;
is

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.

b 3 [He, like a plant of gen'rous kind,
By living waters set,

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

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

p 5 Not so the impious and unjust,
What vain designs they form!

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

g 6 Sinners in judgment will 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.]

1

S. M. Watchman. [*]

The Saint happy, the Sinner miserable.
HE man is ever blest,

[THE

Who shuns the sinners' ways;
Among their councils never stands,
Nor takes the scorner's place:—
2 But makes the law of God,
His study and delight,
Amidst the labours of the day,
And watches of the night.
3 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.

4 Not so th' ungodly race;

They no such blessings find:
Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff,
Before the driving wind.

5 How will they bear to stand
Before that judgment seat,

Where all the saints, at Christ's right hand,
In full assembly meet!

6 He knows, and he approves,

The way the righteous go:

But sinners and their works will meet

1

A dreadful overthrow.]

L. M. Quercy. Bath. [*]

HAPPY

The Difference between the Righteous and the Wicked. APPY the man whose cautious feet, Shun the broad way that sinners go, 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 the word. e 3 He, like a plant by gentle streams, Shall flourish in immortal green;

b And heav'n will shine with kindest beams, On every work his hands begin.
