ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

{A Song of degrees.} Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Hearken unto me now therefore, O ye children, and attend to the words of my mouth.

Hear me now therefore, O ye children, and depart not from the words of my mouth.
