(11 June)
Psalm 1
Beatus vir, qui non abiit, &c.
1. BLESSED is the man that hath not walked in the
counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners : and hath not sat in
the seat of the scornful.
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 leaf also shall not wither : and look,
whatsoever he doeth, it shall prosper.
5. As for the ungodly, 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 ungodly shall not be able to stand
in the judgement : neither the sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
7. But the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous : and the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Lord,
who hast formed me out of mud,
And hast redeemed me through thy blood,
And sanctified me to do good;
Purge

For I confess my heavy score,
And I will strive to sin no more.
Enrich

With faith, with hope, with charity;
That I may run, rise, rest with thee.
