Day I : Morning Prayer

Psalm 1 - Beatus vir qui non abiit

1   Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, 🞙
    nor stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of the scornful;

2   But his delight is in the law of the Lord, 🞙
    and on his law will he meditate day and night.

3   And he shall be like a tree planted by the waterside, 🞙
    that will bring forth his fruit in due season.

4   His leaf also shall not wither; 🞙
    and look, whatever he does, it shall prosper.

5   As for the ungodly, it is not so with them; 🞙
    but they are like the chaff, which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.

6   Therefore the ungodly shall not be able to stand in the judgment, 🞙
    neither the sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

7   For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, 🞙
    but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
