F Psalm 1 Chant B

Psalm 1   Beatus vir qui non abiit

1 Happy are they who have not walked in the counsel of the wic-ked, *
nor lingered in the way of sinners,
nor sat in the seats of the scorn-ful!

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 with-er; *
everything they do shall pro-sper.

4 It is not so with the wic-ked; *
they are like chaff which the wind blows a-way.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand upright when judg-ment comes, *
nor the sinner in the council of the right-eous.

6 For the LORD knows the way of the right-eous, *
but the way of the wicked is doomed.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spir-it: *
As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. A-men.
