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 IS the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the scornful.

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

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law doth 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 like a tree planted by streams of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf doth not wither; and in whatsoever he doeth he shall prosper.

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

Not so the wicked; but they are like the 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 the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

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

For the LORD regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.
