BOOK 1
PSALM 1
The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.
1How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
2But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
3He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers.
4The wicked are not so,
But they are like chaff which the wind drives away.
5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.

Psalm 1
The Two Ways
1How happy is the one who does not
walk in the advice of the wicked
or stand in the pathway with sinners
or sit in the company of mockers!#Ps 26:4–5; Pr 4:14–15
2Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,
and he meditates on it day and night.#Jos 1:8; Ps 40:8; 119:14–16
3He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams#1:3 Or beside irrigation channels
that bears its fruit in its season,#Rv 22:2
and its leaf does not wither.#Ps 92:12–14; Jr 17:8
Whatever he does prospers.#Dt 5:33
4The wicked are not like this;
instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.#Jb 21:18; Ps 35:5; Hs 13:3
5Therefore the wicked will not stand up in the judgment,#Ps 5:5; 9:16; 76:7; Jr 25:31
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,#Jb 34:21; Ps 37:18; Nah 1:7; Jn 10:14; 2Tm 2:19
but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.#Pr 21:12; Jn 3:16
