Antífona. Bienaventurados los que ponen en el Señor su confianza. | |
V. Bienaventurado el que no anduvo en consejo de malos, * ni estuvo en camino de pecadores, ni en silla de escarnecedores se ha sentado; | |
V. Sino que en la ley del Señor está su delicia, * y en su ley medita de día y de noche. | |
Antífona. | |
V. Será como el árbol plantado junto a corrientes de aguas, que da su fruto en su tiempo, y su hoja no cae, * y todo lo que hace prosperará. | |
V. No así los malos, no así, * que son como el tamo que arrebata el viento. | |
Antífona. | |
V. Por tanto, no se levantarán los malos en el juicio, * ni los pecadores en la congregación de los justos; | |
V. Porque el Señor conoce el camino de los justos, * mas la senda de los malos perecerá. | |
Antífona. | |
