6 Sinners in judgment shall 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.

Psalm 1:2.  S. M.
The saint happy, the sinner miserable.

1 The man is ever blest
Who shuns the sinner’s ways,
Among their counsels 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 heavenly 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 shall meet
A dreadful overthrow.

Psalm 1:3.  L. M.
The difference between the righteous and the wicked.

1 Happy 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 at night, With pleasure pondering o’er the word.

3 He like a plant by gentle streams, Shall flourish in immortal green; And heaven will shine with kindest beams On every work his hands begin.

4 But sinners find their counsels crost; As chaff before the tempest flies, So shall their hopes be blown and lost, When the last trumpet shakes the skies.

5 In vain the rebel seeks to stand In judgment with the pious race; The dreadful Judge with stern command Divides him to a different place.

6 “Straight is the way my saints have trod, “I blest the path and drew it plain; “But you would choose the crooked road, “And down it leads to endless pain.

Psalm 2:1.  S. M.
Translated according to the divine pattern,
Acts iv. 24 &c.

Christ dying, rising, interceding, and reigning.

1 [Maker and sovereign Lord
Of heaven, and earth, and seas,
Thy providence confirms thy word,
And answers thy decrees.

2 The things so long foretold
By David are fulfill’d,
When Jews and Gentiles join to slay
Jesus, thine holy child.]

3 Why did the Gentiles rage,
And Jews with one accord
Bend all their counsels to destroy
Th’ anointed of the Lord?

4 Rulers and kings agree
To form a vain design;
Against the Lord their powers unite,
Against his Christ they join.
