Psalms 1

Book One
The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked
1 Blessed is the man[a]
who (a)walks not in (b)the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in (c)the way of sinners,
nor (d)sits in (e)the seat of (f)scoffers;
2 but his (g)delight is in the law[b] of the Lord,
and on his (h)law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like (i)a tree
planted by (j)streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its (k)leaf does not wither.
(l)In all that he does, he prospers.
4 The wicked are not so,
but are like (m)chaff that the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked (n)will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in (o)the congregation of the righteous;
6 for the Lord (p)knows (q)the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
