Psalm 1:2

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

But placeth his delight Upon God's law, and meditates on his law day and night.

See the chapter Copy

Unless in thy most perfect law my soul delights had found, I should have perished, when as my troubles did abound.

Thy word I in my heart have hid, that I offend not thee.

In thy law's path make me to go; for I delight therein.

Praise ye the Lord. The man is bless'd that fears the Lord aright, He who in his commandements doth greatly take delight.

Of him my meditation shall sweet thoughts to me afford; And as for me, I will rejoice in God, my only Lord.

To do thy will I take delight, O thou my God that art; Yea, that most holy law of thine I have within my heart.

Blessed are they that undefil'd, and straight are in the way; Who in the Lord's most holy law do walk, and do not stray.

The word that cometh from thy mouth is better unto me Than many thousands and great sums of gold and silver be.

Lord God, my Saviour, day and night before thee cry'd have I.
