Transcript[edit]

The Psalmes of David in Meeter.

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.
