The Psalms
BOOK 1
Psalm 1
1 Blessed
is the man
who doesn’t walk
in the counsel
of the wicked,
nor stand on
the path of
sinners,
nor sit in
the seat
of scoffers;
2 but
his delight is
in the LORD’s
law.
On his law
he meditates day
and night.
3 He
will be like
a tree planted
by the streams
of water,
that produces its
fruit in its
season,
whose leaf also
does not wither.
Whatever he does
shall prosper.
4 The
wicked are not
so,
but are like
the chaff which
the wind drives
away.
5 Therefore
the wicked shall
not stand in
the judgment,
nor sinners in
the congregation
of the righteous.
6 For
the LORD knows
the way of
the righteous,
but the way
of the wicked
shall perish.
