Psalmorum 1

1 beatus vir qui non abiit in consilio impiorum et in via peccatorum non stetit et in cathedra pestilentiae non sedit

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:

2 sed in lege Domini voluntas eius et in lege eius meditabitur die ac nocte

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

3 et erit tamquam lignum quod plantatum est secus decursus aquarum quod fructum suum dabit in tempore suo et folium eius non defluet et omnia quaecumque faciet prosperabuntur

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.

4 non sic impii non sic sed tamquam pulvis quem proicit ventus a facie terrae

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

5 ideo non resurgent impii in iudicio neque peccatores in consilio iustorum

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

6 quoniam novit Dominus viam iustorum et iter impiorum peribit

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