Psalms 1

1Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers.

2But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, and on his law he meditates day and night.

3He will be like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. Everything he does prospers.

4Not so the wicked; rather, they are like chaff that the wind drives away.

5Therefore the wicked will not stand in judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
