Psalms1

Psalm 1 contrasts the blessed man with the ungodly. The blessed man avoids evil counsel and delights in the Lord's law, flourishing like a tree by water. Conversely, the ungodly are like chaff, destined to perish and unable to stand in judgment, for the Lord acknowledges the righteous but condemns the wicked.

The Way of the Righteous

1
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 his delite is in the Lawe of the Lord, and in his Lawe doeth he meditate day and night.
3
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.

The Fate of the Ungodly

4
The wicked are not so, but as the chaffe, which the winde driueth away.
5
Therefore the wicked shall not stande in the iudgement, nor sinners in the assemblie of the righteous.
6
For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.
