Psalms 1

1 O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;

Blessid is the man, that yede not in the councel of wickid men; and stood not in the weie of synneris, and sat not in the chaier of pestilence.

2 But — in the law of Jehovah [is] his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

But his wille is in the lawe of the Lord; and he schal bithenke in the lawe of hym dai and nyyt.

3 And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.

And he schal be as a tree, which is plauntid bisidis the rennyngis of watris; which tre schal yyue his fruyt in his tyme. And his leef schal not falle doun; and alle thingis which euere he schal do schulen haue prosperite.

4 Not so the wicked: But — as chaff that wind driveth away!

Not so wickid men, not so; but thei ben as dust, which the wynd castith awei fro the face of erthe.

5 Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, Nor sinners in the company of the righteous,

Therfor wickid men risen not ayen in doom; nethir synneres in the councel of iust men.

6 For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!

For the Lord knowith the weie of iust men; and the weie of wickid men schal perische.
