Psalmus 1.
Psalm 1.
1:1. Beátus vir, qui non ábiit in consílio impiórum, et in via peccatórum non stetit, * et in cáthedra pestiléntiæ non sedit : 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.
1:2. Sed in lege Dómini volúntas ejus, * et in lege ejus meditábitur die ac nocte. 2. But his will is in the law of the Lord, * and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
1:3. Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantátum est secus decúrsus aquárum, * quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo : 3. And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, * which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season.
1:4. Et fólium ejus non défluet : * et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur. 4. And his leaf shall not fall off: * and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
1:5. Non sic ímpii, non sic : * sed tamquam pulvis, quem prójicit ventus a fácie terræ. 5. Not so the wicked, not so: * but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
1:6. Ideo non resúrgent ímpii in judício : * neque peccatóres in concílio justórum. 6. Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: * nor sinners in the council of the just.
1:7. Quóniam novit Dóminus viam justórum : * et iter impiórum períbit. 7. For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: * and the way of the wicked shall perish.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen. R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
