THE

P. B. V.

PSALM I.

Beatus vir, qui non abiit, &c. 1 Blessed is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly,

Nor stood in the way of sinners :

And hath not sat in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord :

And in his law will he exercise himself day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the water-side :

That will bring forth his fruit in due season.

4 His leaf also shall not wither:

And look, whatsoever he doeth, it shall prosper. 5 As for the ungodly, it is not so with them :

But they are like the chaff, which the wind scattereth away from the face of the earth.

6 Therefore the ungodly shall not be able to stand in the judgement :

Neither the sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 7 But the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous :

And the way of the ungodly shall perish.

A. V.

PSALM I.

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 b 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 judgement,

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.

R. V.

PSALM I.

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked,

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 streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season,

Whose leaf also doth not wither;

And dwhatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The wicked are not so ;

But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgement,

Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous :

But the way of the wicked shall perish.
