Psalmus 1 | Psalm 1 in Latin

Psalm 1 in Latin, classical pronunciation (pronuntiatio restituta). Pretty good Psalter: Psalmus 1 [Clementine Vulgate]: Beátus vir, qui non ábiit in consílio impiórum, et in via peccatórum non stetit, et in cáthedra pestiléntiæ non sedit: Sed in lege Dómini volúntas eius, et in lege eius meditábitur die ac nocte. Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantátum est secus decúrsus aquárum, quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo: Et fólium eius non défluet: et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur. Non sic ímpii, non sic: sed tamquam pulvis, quem próiicit ventus a fácie terræ. Ídeo non resúrgent ímpii in iudício: neque peccatóres in concílio iustórum. Quóniam novit Dóminus viam iustórum: et iter impiórum períbit. Psalm 1 [Challoner Douay Rheims]: Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence: But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper. Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth. Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just. For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.
