Psalms 1

1 “BOOK I” Happy the man who walketh not in the counsel of the unrighteous, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth 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 whose delight is in the law of the LORD, And who meditateth on his precepts day and night.

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

3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaves also do not wither: All that 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 Not so the unrighteous; They are like chaff, which the wind driveth away.

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

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the just.

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 wicked leadeth to ruin.

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