Book 19 Psalms 19:001:001 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. 19:001:002 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 19:001:003 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. 19:001:004 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 19:001:005 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 19:001:006 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

"And ye maun dry it upon a thorn, (Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw,) That never budded sin' Adam was born." (And the wind has blawn my plaid awa'.) "O gin that kindness I do for thee; (Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw,) There's something ye maun do for me. (And the wind has blawn my plaid awa'.) "I hae an acre o' gude lea-land, (Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw,) Between the saut sea and the strand; (And the wind has blawn my plaid awa'.) "Ye'll plough it wi' your blawing horn, (Blaw, blaw, blaw winds, blaw,) And ye will sow it wi' pepper corn, (And the wind has blawn my plaid awa'.)
