Psalms 1

   |   

The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.

1 Blessed is the person who (C1)does not walk in the (C2)counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the (F1)(C3)path of sinners,
Nor (C4)sit in the seat of scoffers!

2 But his (C1)delight is (C2)in the Law of the LORD,
And on His Law he meditates (C3)day and (C4)night.

3 He will be like (C1)a tree planted by (F1)streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season,
And its (F2)leaf does not wither;
And (F3)in whatever he does, (C2)he prospers.

4 The wicked are not so,
But they are like (C1)chaff which the wind blows away.

5 Therefore (C1)the wicked will not stand in the (C2)judgment,
Nor sinners in (C3)the assembly of the righteous.

6 For the LORD (F1)(C1)knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of (C2)the wicked will perish.
