Psalms 1

¹Blessed 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;Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

²but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

³He 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.And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

⁴The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

⁵Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

⁶For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
