Psalmorum 1

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

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 sed in lege Domini voluntas ejus, et in lege ejus meditabitur die ac nocte.

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

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

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 Non sic impii, non sic; sed tamquam pulvis quem projicit ventus a facie terræ.

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

5 Ideo non resurgent impii in judicio, neque peccatores in concilio justorum:

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

6 quoniam novit Dominus viam justorum, et iter impiorum peribit.]

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