Psalms 1

1 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:

“BOOK I” Happy the man who walketh not in the counsel of the unrighteous, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers;

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

But whose delight is in the law of the LORD, And who meditateth on his precepts day and night.

3 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.

He is like a tree planted by streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaves also do not wither: All that he doeth shall prosper.

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

Not so the unrighteous; They are like chaff, which the wind driveth away.

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

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the just.

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

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked leadeth to ruin.
