Psalter:
Psalm 1 (Elvey in G)
1 Happy are they who have not walked in the counsel | of the | wicked, *
nor lingered in the way of sinners,
nor |
sat in the |
seats of the | scornful!
2 Their delight is in the |
law of the | LORD, *
and they meditate on his |
law | day and | night.
3 They are like trees planted by streams of water,
bearing fruit in due season, with leaves that | do not | wither; *
-- |
everything they | do shall | prosper.
4 It is not | so
with the |wicked; *
they are like |chaff
which the | wind
blows a- | way.
5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand upright when | judgment | comes, *
nor the |
sinner in the |
council of the | righteous.
6 For the LORD knows the | way of the | righteous, *
but the |way
of the |
wicked is |doomed.
