Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who has not followed the counsel of the impious, and has not remained in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the chair of pestilence.

Blessed is the man that doeth not walke in the counsell of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in ye seate of the scornefull:

2 But his will is with the law of the Lord, and he will meditate on his law, day and night.

But his delite is in the Lawe of the Lord, and in his Lawe doeth he meditate day and night.

3 And he will be like a tree that has been planted beside running waters, which will provide its fruit in its time, and its leaf will not fall away, and all things whatsoever that he does will prosper.

For he shall be like a tree planted by the riuers of waters, that will bring foorth her fruite in due season: whose leafe shall not fade: so whatsoeuer he shall doe, shall prosper.

4 Not so the impious, not so. For they are like the dust that the wind casts along the face of the earth.

The wicked are not so, but as the chaffe, which the winde driueth away.

5 Therefore, the impious will not prevail again in judgment, nor sinners in the council of the just.

Therefore the wicked shall not stande in the iudgement, nor sinners in the assemblie of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knows the way of the just. And the path of the impious will pass away.

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.
