Book I
Psalms 1–41
Psalm 1
1Blessed is the person who obeys the law of the Lord.
They don’t follow the advice of evil people.
They don’t make a habit of doing what sinners do.
They don’t join those who make fun of the Lord and his law.
2Instead, the law of the Lord gives them joy.
They think about his law day and night.
3That kind of person is like a tree that is planted near a stream of water.
It always bears its fruit at the right time.
Its leaves don’t dry up.
Everything godly people do turns out well.
4Sinful people are not like that at all.
They are like straw
that the wind blows away.
5When the Lord judges them, their life will come to an end.
Sinners won’t have any place among those who are godly.
6The Lord watches over the lives of godly people.
But the lives of sinful people will lead to their death.

BOOK 1
Psalm 1
The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.
1Blessed is the person who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the #1:1 Or waypath of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
2But his delight is in the Law of the Lord,
And on His Law he meditates day and night.
3He will be like a tree planted by #1:3 Or canalsstreams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season,
And its #1:3 Or foliageleaf does not wither;
And #1:3 Or all that he does prospersin whatever he does, he prospers.
4¶The wicked are not so,
But they are like chaff which the wind blows away.
5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6For the Lord #1:6 Or approves; or has regard toknows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.
