\cl PSALM 1
\p
\v 1 Blessed \em is\em* the man, that goeth not in the counsel of wicked men; and stood not in the way of sinners, and sat not in the chair of pestilence. \sls (Happy \+em is\+em* the person, who goeth not in the counsel of the wicked; and walketh not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the chair of pestilence.)\sls*
\p
\v 2 But his will \em is\em* in the law of the Lord; and he shall bethink in the law of him day and night. \sls (But his delight \+em is\+em* in the Law of the Lord; and he shall think about his Law day and night.)\sls*
\p
\v 3 And he shall be as a tree, which is planted beside the runnings of waters; that shall give his fruit in his time. And his leaf shall not fall down; and all things, whichever he shall do, shall have prosperity. \sls (And he shall be like a tree, which is planted beside the running water; it shall give its fruit at its proper time, and its leaves shall not fall down. Yea, everything, whatever he shall do, shall prosper.)\sls*
\p
\v 4 Not so wicked men, not so; but \em they be\em* as dust, which the wind casteth away from the face of the earth. \sls (Not so the wicked, not so; but \+em they be\+em* like the dust, which the wind bloweth away from off the face of the earth.)\sls*
\p
\v 5 Therefore wicked men rise not again in doom; neither sinners in the council of just men \add [nor \+sls (the)\+sls* sinful in the council of \+sls (the)\+sls* rightwise]\add*. \sls (And so the wicked shall not stand \+em long\+em* at the judgement; nor shall the sinners stand with the congregation of the righteous.)\sls*
\p
\v 6 For the Lord knoweth the way of just men \add [or For the Lord hath known the way of the rightwise]\add*; and the way of wicked men shall perish. \sls (For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.)\sls*

\cl PSALM 2
\p
\v 1 Why gnashed with teeth heathen men; and peoples thought vain things? \sls (Why do the heathen gnash with their teeth? and the peoples think up useless plans?)\sls*
\p
\v 2 The kings of earth stood together; and princes came together against the Lord, and against his Christ. \sls (The kings of the earth stood together; yea, the rulers came together against the Lord, and against his anointed \+em king\+em*.)\sls*
\p
\v 3 Break we the bonds of them; and cast we away the yoke of them from us. \sls (\+em And they said\+em*, Let us break their bonds, \+em that is, their rule over us\+em*; yea, let us throw off their yoke from us.)\sls*
\p
\v 4 He that dwelleth in heavens shall scorn them; and the Lord shall bemock them. \sls (But he who liveth in heaven shall scorn them; yea, the Lord shall mock them.)\sls*

\p
\v 8 Ask thou of me, and I shall give to thee heathen men \sls (for)\sls* thine heritage; and \sls (for)\sls* thy possession the terms of earth. \sls (Ask thou of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thy inheritance; and the ends of the earth for thy possession.)\sls*
\p

\p
\v 10 And now, ye kings, understand; ye that deem the earth, be ye learned. \sls (And so now, ye kings, understand; ye who judge, \+em (or who rule)\+em*, the earth, learn your lesson!)\sls*
\p
\v 11 Serve ye the Lord with dread; and make ye full out joy to him with trembling. \sls (Serve ye the Lord in fear or Serve ye the Lord with reverence; and bow down before him with trembling.)\sls*
\p
\v 12 Take ye lore \em of chastising\em*; lest the Lord be wroth sometime, and ye perish from the just way. When his wrath shall burn out in short time; blessed \em be\em* all they, that trust in him. \sls (Kiss ye the King, \+em that is, worship and serve him\+em*; lest sometime, the Lord be angry. And then, ye perish on the way; when, in a moment of time, his anger flareth up. Happy \+em be\+em* all they, who trust in him.)\sls*

\p
\v 5 neither unjust men shall dwell before thine eyes. Thou hatest all \em them\em* that work wickedness; \sls (nor shall the unrighteous stand before thine eyes. Thou hatest all \+em those\+em* who do evil;)\sls*

\p
\v 10 God, deem thou them. Fall they down from their thoughts; after the multitude of their wickednesses, \em or unpiousnesses\em*, cast thou them down; for, Lord, they have stirred thee to wrath. \sls (God, judge thou them. Let them fall by their own thoughts; throw thou them down after all their wickednesses; for, Lord, they have rebelled against thee.)\sls*
\p
\v 11 And all that hope in thee, be they glad; they shall make full out joy \add [into]\add* without end, and thou shalt dwell in them.

And all who love thy name shall have glory in thee;)\sls*
\p
\v 12 for thou shalt bless the just man. Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will. \sls (for thou shalt bless the righteous. Lord, thou hast surrounded us with thy favour, yea, like with a shield.)\sls*

\p
\v 5 For none there is in death, that is mindful of thee; but in hell who shall acknowledge to thee? \sls (For there is no one among the dead, who remembereth thee; who shall praise thee in Sheol, \+em or in the land of the dead\+em*? or who shall praise thee in the grave?)\sls*

\p
\v 7 and the synagogue of peoples shall \sls (en)\sls*compass thee. And for this go thou again on high; \sls (and the congregation of the people shall surround thee. And for them, go thou again on high;)\sls*
\p
\v 8 the Lord deemeth peoples. Lord, deem thou me by my rightfulness; and by mine innocence on me. \sls (and then let the Lord judge the people. Lord, judge thou me according to my righteousness; and the innocence which is in me.)\sls*

\p
\v 3 For I shall see thine heavens, the works of thy fingers; the moon and the stars, which thou hast founded.

\p
\v 15 heathen men be fast-set in the perishing, which they made. In this snare, which they hid, the foot of them is caught. \sls (but let the heathen be set fast in the perishing, which they themselves have made. Yea, let their feet be caught in the snare, which they themselves have hid.)\sls*
