Psalms 1

1 BLESSED 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.

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 the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate 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 rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth 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 ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

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

5 Therefore the ungodly 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 the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

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