Keith:

I do this all the time for chant.  You use "\once \override LyricText  
#'self-alignment-X = #LEFT" for the last word of the line.  Try this:

BEGIN LilyPond

\version "2.11.19"
global = {
	\key e \major
	\set Staff.whichBar = ""
	\set Score.timing = ##f
	}

trebMusicA = {
	\fatText s4_"A" \noBreak
	<gis' e'>2 \break <fis' dis'>4
	}
	
bassMusicA = {
	s4 <b e>2  \break <b b,>4
	}

allWords = \lyricmode
	{
\set stanza = "1" 	\once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X =  
#LEFT \markup{Happy are they who have not walked in the counsel of  
the} \once \override LyricText #'self-alignment-X = #LEFT \markup 
{wicked,* \italic "(Look truly happy that you are not one of those  
wicked.)"}
}

\score {

         \context ChoirStaff <<
            \context Staff = women <<

				\context Voice =
				women { \oneVoice \global
					\trebMusicA
}
            >>
			\context Lyrics = women \lyricsto women \allWords
			\context Staff = men <<
			\clef bass
			\context Voice =
				basses { \oneVoice \global
					\bassMusicA
				}
            >>
         >>
         \layout{
		\context {
			\Staff
				\remove "Time_signature_engraver"
				\override Stem #'transparent = ##t
			}
		\context {
			\Voice
				\override Stem #'length = #0
			}
		}
}

END Lilypond
