Psalms 1
1
Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence:
2
But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
3
And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
4
Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
5
Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.
6
For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.

Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?
2
The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.
3
Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
4
He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
5
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
6
But I am appointed king by him over Sion, his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
7
The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
8
Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9
Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10
And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
11
Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
12
Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way. (2-13) When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him.
