PSALM S.

1

PSALM 1. S. M.

The way and end of the righteous and the wicked.
HE man is ever blest

T

Who shuns the sinner's ways,
Amidst their councils never stands,
Nor takes the scorner's place.

2 But makes the law of God
His study and delight,
Throughout 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 heavenly fruit.

4 Not so the 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 shall meet
A dreadful overthrow.

PSALM 2. First Part. L. M.

God the Father vindicates his Messiah.

HY did the heathen madly rage,

i WH

And why the Jews conspire in vain? Why kings and rulers all engage,

T'oppose Messiah's gracious reign?

2" Come, let us break his bands," they say, "We'll ne'er be govern'd by his laws :" And thus they cast his yoke away, And nail'd Messiah to the cross.

3 But God the Father, from his throne, Laughs at their pride, their rage controls; He'll vex their hearts with pains unknown, And speak in thunder to their souls. 4 "I'll vindicate the King I made,

"On Zion's everlasting hill;

[ocr errors]

My hand shall bring him from the dead, "And he shall reign, Messiah still."

PSALM 2. Second Part. L. M.

God the Son reveals the divine decree.

1 H' eternal Son with power array'd,
TH
Declares th' unchangeable decree :
"Thou art my Son," the Father said,
"This day have I begotten thee.

2 "For sin thou'st offer'd up thy soul,
"And thou'st a right to intercede;
"Thy life shall last while ages roll,
"And thou shalt see a num'rous seed.

3 "Ask then, my Son, and I will give
"The heathen for thy vast domain;
"The utmost ends of earth receive,
"And boundless be thy blessed reign.
4. "But nations, that resist thy grace,
"Shall fall beneath thine iron stroke;
