Psalms 1

PSALM 1.
Beatus vir.
The happiness of the just and the evil state of the wicked.
1Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence:
2But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
3And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whosoever he shall do shall prosper.
4Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
5Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.
6For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.

Psalm 1
1
Book I
The Righteous and the Ungodly
1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2But his delight is in the law of the Lord;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Jer 17.8. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4The ungodly are not so:
but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous:
but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
