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:

Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of evil men.

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

But his pleasure is in the law of the Lord; and in his law will he meditate 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.

And he shall be as a tree planted by the brooks of waters, which shall yield its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not fall off; and whatsoever he shall do shall be prospered.

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

Not so the ungodly; —not so: but rather as the chaff which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.

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

Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in judgment, nor sinners in the counsel of the just.

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

For the Lord knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
