Psalms 1
1
1Blessed 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: 2But his delite is in the Lawe of the Lord, and in his Lawe doeth he meditate day and night. 3For 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. 4The wicked are not so, but as the chaffe, which the winde driueth away. 5Therefore the wicked shall not stande in the iudgement, nor sinners in the assemblie of the righteous. 6For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.

Psalms 1
1
Book One (Psalms 1–41)
1Oh, the joys of those who do not
follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with mockers.
2But they delight in the law of the Lord,
meditating on it day and night.
3They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
and they prosper in all they do.
4But not the wicked!
They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
5They will be condemned at the time of judgment.
Sinners will have no place among the godly.
6For the Lord watches over the path of the godly,
but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.
