THE BOOK OF PSALMS.

PSALM 1
BLESSED 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.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD;
and in his law doth he meditate day and
night.
3 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.
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the
chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in
the judgment, nor sinners in the
congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the
righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall
perish.
