Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of mockers.

Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.

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

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not wither; whatever he does will prosper.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper.

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

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

5 So the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

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

6 For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
