| Chapter 1 |
1 |
Blessed 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. |
2 |
But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night. |
3 |
And 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. |
4 |
Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth. |
5 |
Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just. |
6 |
For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish. |
