Psalms 1 - Revised Version 1885(RV1885)

BOOK I.

1Blessed 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

2But his delight is in the law of the LORD;

And in his law doth he meditate day and night

3And 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 whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4The wicked are not so;

But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away

5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgement,

Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous

6For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous:

But the way of the wicked shall perish.
