Introduction to Psalms1 WYC Blessid is the man, that yede not in the councel of wickid men; and stood not in the weie of synneris, and sat not in the chaier of pestilence. BSB BSB: Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 WYC But his wille is in the lawe of the Lord; and he schal bithenke in the lawe of hym dai and nyyt. BSB BSB: But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.
3 WYC And he schal be as a tree, which is plauntid bisidis the rennyngis of watris; which tre schal yyue his fruyt in his tyme. And his leef schal not falle doun; and alle thingis which euere he schal do schulen haue prosperite. BSB BSB: He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does.
4 WYC Not so wickid men, not so; but thei ben as dust, which the wynd castith awei fro the face of erthe. BSB BSB: Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.
5 WYC Therfor wickid men risen not ayen in doom; nethir synneres in the councel of iust men. BSB BSB: Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 WYC For the Lord knowith the weie of iust men; and the weie of wickid men schal perische. BSB BSB: For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
