Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor 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 in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate 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 shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall 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 wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.

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

5 Therefore the wicked shall not rise 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 knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.

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