Thomas Morley - The man is blest - текст песни (слова)

1. The man is blest that hath not bent,
 to wicked rede his eare: 
 nor led his life as sinners doe, 
 nor sate in scorners chaire:
 But in the law of God the Lord 
 doth set his whole delight: 
 and in that law doth exercise
 himselfe both day and night.
 
 2. He shall be like the tree that growes
 fast by the riuers side,
 Which bringeth forth most pleasant fruit
 in her due time and tide.
 
 3. Whose leafe shall neuer fade nor fall
 but flourish still and stand:
 Euen so all things shall prosper well
 that this man takes in hand.
 
 4. So shall not the vngodly men,
 they shall be nothing so:
 But as the dust which from the earth
 the windes driue too and fro.
 
 5. Therefore shall not the wicked men
 in iudgement stand vpright:
 Nor yet the sinners with the iust
 shall come in place or sight.
 
 6. For why? the way of Godly men
 vnto the Lord is knowne,
 and eke the way of wicked men
 shall quite be ouerthrowne.
