Psalms 1

PSALM 1

Blessed is a Man

1 Blessed is a man who went not in counsel of impious ones, and [²in ³the way ⁴of sinners ¹stood not], and [²upon ³a chair ⁴of mischievous ones ¹sat not]. 2 But [²is in ³the ⁴law ⁵of the lord ¹his will]; and in his law he shall meditate day and night. 3 And he will be as the tree being planted by the outlet of the waters, which [²his fruit ¹gives] in his season, and his leaf shall not drop down; and all as much as he should do will greatly prosper. 4 Not so the impious, not so; but is as dust which [³casts forth ¹the ²wind] from the face of the earth. 5 On account of this [³shall not ⁴rise up ¹the ²impious] in judgment, nor the sinners in the counsel of the just. 6 For the lord knows the way of the just, but the way of impious ones shall perish.
