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.

O the blessedness of that one, Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, And has not stood in the way of sinners, And has not sat in the seat of scorners;

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 YHWH, And in His law he meditates by day and by 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 has been as a tree, Planted by streams of water, That gives its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither, And all that he does he causes to prosper.

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

Not so the wicked: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away!

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

Therefore the wicked do not rise in 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 YHWH is knowing the way of the righteous, And the way of the wicked is lost!
