4 The Lord will prosper this mans work, But the ungodly are not so, But like rejected worthless chaff, Which every wind drives to and fro.
5 Therefore the' ungodly shall not stand, But fall, when judgment gives their doom; Nor sinners in the righteous mens Blessed assembly ever come.
5 Therefore th' ungodly shall not stand, But fall, when judgment gives their doom; Nor sinners in the righteous mens Blessed assembly ever come.
6 Because the way of righteous men, The Lord with approbation knows; But the way of ungodly men To their own just destruction goes.
