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:

Beatus vir, qui non abiit in consilio impiorum, et in via peccatorum non stetit, et in cathedra pestilentiæ non sedit:

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

Sed in lege Domini voluntas eius, et in lege eius meditabitur die ac nocte.

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.

Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum, quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo: Et folium eius non defluet: et omnia quæcumque faciet, prosperabuntur.

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

Non sic impii, non sic: sed tamquam pulvis, quem proiicit ventus a facie terræ.

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

Ideo non resurgent impii in iudicio: neque peccatores in concilio iustorum.

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

Quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum: et iter impiorum peribit.
