SELECTION 1 PSALM I THE PSALTER I BLESSED is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. 4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous but the way of the ungodly shall perish. PSALM 2 14 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 15 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. 16 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. 17 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 18 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. PSALM 4 19 HEAR me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. 20 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leas |
