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

PSALM 1
1Blessed is the man, that goeth not in the counsel of wicked men; and stood not in the way of sinners, and sat not in the chair of pestilence.
2But his will is in the law of the Lord; and he shall bethink in the law of him day and night.
3And he shall be as a tree, which is planted beside the runnings of waters; that shall give his fruit in his time. And his leaf shall not fall down; and all things, whichever he shall do, shall have prosperity.
4Not so wicked men, not so; but they be as dust, which the wind casteth away from the face of the earth.
5Therefore wicked men rise not again in doom; neither sinners in the council of just men [nor the sinful in the council of the rightwise].
6For the Lord knoweth the way of just men [or the rightwise]; and the way of wicked men shall perish.
