Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers,

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;

2 but his delight is in the law of Jehovah, and on his law he meditates day and night.

But his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. And whatever he does shall prosper.

And he [is] as a tree planted by brooks of water, which giveth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.

4 The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 For Jehovah knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
