Psalms 1 Comparison: Wycliffe Bible (1395) vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 1
1Blessid 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.
2But his wille is in the lawe of the Lord; and he schal bithenke in the lawe of hym dai and nyyt.
3And 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.
4Not so wickid men, not so; but thei ben as dust, which the wynd castith awei fro the face of erthe.
5Therfor wickid men risen not ayen in doom; nethir synneres in the councel of iust men.
6For the Lord knowith the weie of iust men; and the weie of wickid men schal perische.
Psalms 1
1Blessed 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.
2But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3And 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.
4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
