Psalms 1

   |   

BOOK ONE(a)

True Happiness

1 Happy are those
    who reject the advice of evil people,
    who do not follow the example of sinners
    or join those who have no use for God.
2 Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the Lord,
    and they study it day and night.
3 (b)They are like trees that grow beside a stream,
    that bear fruit at the right time,
    and whose leaves do not dry up.
They succeed in everything they do.

4 But evil people are not like this at all;
    they are like straw that the wind blows away.
5 Sinners will be condemned by God
    and kept apart from God's own people.
6 The righteous are guided and protected by the Lord,
    but the evil are on the way to their doom.
