Psalms 1

   |   

BOOK 1

The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.

1 How blessed is the man who (a)does not walk in the (b)counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the [a](c)path of sinners,
Nor (d)sit in the seat of scoffers!
2 But his (e)delight is (f)in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates (g)day and (h)night.
3 He will be like (i)a tree firmly planted by [b]streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its [c]leaf does not wither;
And [d]in whatever he does, (j)he prospers.

4 The wicked are not so,
But they are like (k)chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore (l)the wicked will not stand in the (m)judgment,
Nor sinners in (n)the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the Lord [e](o)knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of (p)the wicked will perish.
