That walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor standeth in the way of sinners,

Nor sitteth in the seat..of the scornful;

But his delight is in the law of the LORD,

And in his law doth he | medi-tate | day and night.

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.

The ungodly are not so;

But are like the chaff which the wind | driveth..a-| way..
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congre- ga-tion | of the righteous

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly.. shall perish.
The LORD knoweth the way of the righteous,
But the way.. of th'un | godly .. shall | perish.

He is despised and rejected of men;

A man of sorrows, and ac- quainted..with grief:
And we hid as it were our faces from him;
He was despised, and we es- teemed..him | not.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, {He was bruised for our in- iquities.

And with his | stripes..we are | healed.

All we, like sheep, have gone astray;

{We have turned every one to his own way.
