Psalms 1-2
Chapter 1
BOOK I
Psalms 1–41
Psalm 1
1 Blessed is the one(a)
who does not walk(b) in step with the wicked(c)
or stand in the way(d) that sinners take(e)
or sit(f) in the company of mockers,(g)
2 but whose delight(h) is in the law of the
Lord
,(i)
and who meditates(j) on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree(k) planted by streams(l) of water,(m)
which yields its fruit(n) in season
and whose leaf(o) does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.(p)
4 Not so the wicked!
They are like chaff(q)
that the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand(r) in the judgment,(s)
nor sinners in the assembly(t) of the righteous.
6 For the
Lord
watches over(u) the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.(v)
Chapter 2
Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations conspire[a]
and the peoples plot(a) in vain?
2 The kings(b) of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the
Lord
and against his anointed,(c) saying,
3 "Let us break their chains(d)
and throw off their shackles."(e)
4 The One enthroned(f) in heaven laughs;(g)
the Lord scoffs at them.
5 He rebukes them in his anger(h)
and terrifies them in his wrath,(i) saying,
6 "I have installed my king(j)
on Zion,(k) my holy mountain.(l)"
7 I will proclaim the Lord 's decree:
He said to me, "You are my son;(m)
today I have become your father.(n)
8 Ask me,
and I will make the nations(o) your inheritance,(p)
the ends of the earth(q) your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron[b];(r)
you will dash them to pieces(s) like pottery.(t)"
10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;(u)
be warned, you rulers(v) of the earth.
11 Serve the
Lord
with fear(w)
and celebrate his rule(x) with trembling.(y)
12 Kiss his son,(z) or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath(aa) can flare up in a moment.
Blessed(ab) are all who take refuge(ac) in him.
