Psalms 1

1 O the happiness of that one, who Hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked. And in the way of sinners hath not stood, And in the seat of scorners hath not sat;

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 But — in the law of Jehovah [is] his delight, And in His law he doth meditate by day and by night:

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

3 And he hath been as a tree, Planted by rivulets of water, That giveth its fruit in its season, And its leaf doth not wither, And all that he doth he causeth to prosper.

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 Not so the wicked: But — as chaff that wind driveth away!

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

5 Therefore the wicked rise not in judgment, Nor sinners in the company of the righteous,

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

6 For Jehovah is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!

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