Book One
The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked
1Blessed is the man1
who awalks not in bthe counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in cthe way of sinners,
nor dsits in ethe seat of fscoffers;
2but his gdelight is in the law2 of the Lord,
and on his hlaw he meditates day and night.
3He is like ia tree
planted by jstreams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its kleaf does not wither.
lIn all that he does, he prospers.
4The wicked are not so,
but are like mchaff that the wind drives away.
5Therefore the wicked nwill not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in othe congregation of the righteous;
6for the Lord pknows qthe way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.

The Reign of the Lord's Anointed
and the peoples plot in vain?
2The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his tAnointed, saying,
3“Let us uburst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”
4He who vsits in the heavens wlaughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
5Then he will speak to them in his xwrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6“As for me, I have yset my King
7I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, b“You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
8Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and cthe ends of the earth your possession.
9You shall dbreak2 them with ea rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like fa potter's vessel.”
10Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his lwrath is quickly kindled.
mBlessed are all who take refuge in him.
