| 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.
