The 1. Day.
The i. Psalm.
Beatus Vir qui nan abijt, &c.
Morning Prayer. 1 Blessed is the man that hath not walked in the Counsel of the vngodly, nor stood in the way of sinners : and hath not sat in the seat of the scornfull.
2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord : and in his law will he exercise himself day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the water side : that will bring forth his fruit in due season.
4 His leafe also shall not wither : and look whatsoever he doth it shall prosper.
5 As for the vngodly it is not so with them : but they are like the chaff which the wind scattereth away [from the face of the Earth.]
6 Therefore the vngodly shall not be able to stand in the iudgement : neither the sinners in the Congregation of the righteous.
7 But the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous : and the way of the vngodly shall perish.
The ii. Psalm.
Quare fremuerunt gentes?
1 Why do the heathen so furiously rage together? and why do the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The Kings of the earth stand vp, and the rulers take counsel together : against the Lord, and against his Anointed.
3 Let vs break their bonds asunder : and cast away their cords from vs.
4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh them to scorn : the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak vnto them in his wrath : and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my King : vpon my holy hill of Sion.
7 J will preach the law, whereof the Lord hath said vnto me : Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
