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 walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth 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 doth 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 streams of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also doth not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

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

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

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

Therefore the wicked 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 knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the wicked shall perish.
