Psalms 1

Book 1
Two Ways to Live
1Happy are those who don’t listen to the wicked,
who don’t go where sinners go,
who don’t do what evil people do.
2They love the Lord’s teachings,
and they think about those teachings day and night.
3They are strong, like a tree planted by a river.
The tree produces fruit in season,
and its leaves don’t die.
Everything they do will succeed.
4But wicked people are not like that.
They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5So the wicked will not escape God’s punishment.
Sinners will not worship with God’s people.
6This is because the Lord takes care of his people,
but the wicked will be destroyed.

Psalms 1

BOOK I
(Psalms 1—41)
The Two Ways
1Happy are those
who do not follow the advice of the wicked,
or take the path that sinners tread,
or sit in the seat of scoffers;
2but their delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law they meditate day and night.
3They are like trees
planted by streams of water,
which yield their fruit in its season,
and their leaves do not wither.
In all that they do, they prosper.
4The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
6for the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
