How blessed is the man whose walk is not

D...G..D.........G.....D........G...D
In evil counsel which the wicked plot.

D.............G....D...................A....D........G..D
Who does not stand where sin it's pleasure offers

D..........G...D...G...............D...G....D..A
And will not take his seat among the scoffers;

D.............G..D.A7.G......D....G...D
But his delight is in God's cov'-nant law;

D....G....D..............G...D..G..A...D
By night and day he ponders it with awe.

Behold, the righteous man is like a tree

Which by the streams yields fruit abundantly,

Whose leaves are green and shall not fade or perish;

In all he does, the righteous one shall flourish.

Their downfall and destruction is at hand:

The wicked shall not in the judgment stand,

Nor sinners in the righteous congregation.

The LORD our God shall judge their generation;

D................G..D..A7..G.D....G.....D
He watches o'er the way of righteous men,

D....G........D.......G..D..G....A.D
But doomed forever is the way of sin.
