1st Day Morning- Psalm 1

Psalm 1

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 away.

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.
