Psalms 1&2

Psalm One

1:1
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.

1:2
But his delight is in the law of the LORD;
and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

1:3
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.

1:4
The ungodly are not so:
but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

1:5
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

1:6
For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous:
but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm Two

2:1
Why do the heathen rage,
and the people imagine a vain thing?

2:2
The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the LORD,
and against his anointed, saying,

2:3
Let us break their bands asunder,
and cast away their cords from us.

2:4
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:
the LORD shall have them in derision.

2:5
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath,
and vex them in his sore displeasure.

2:6
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

2:7
I will declare the decree:
the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son;
this day have I begotten thee.

2:8
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance,
and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

2:9
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;
thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

2:10
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings:
be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

2:11
Serve the LORD with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.

2:12
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.
