Psalms 1
1
Book One (Psalms 1–41)
1Oh, the joys of those who do not
follow the advice of the wicked,
or stand around with sinners,
or join in with mockers.
2But they delight in the law of the Lord,
meditating on it day and night.
3They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
bearing fruit each season.
Their leaves never wither,
and they prosper in all they do.
4But not the wicked!
They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
5They will be condemned at the time of judgment.
Sinners will have no place among the godly.
6For the Lord watches over the path of the godly,
but the path of the wicked leads to destruction.

BOOK ONE
Psalms 1–41
1Blessed is the man
who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor stands in the path of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 but his delight is in the law of the Lord,
and in His law he meditates day and night.
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that brings forth its fruit in its season;
its leaf will not wither,
and whatever he does will prosper.
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 The ungodly are not so,
but are like the chaff
which the wind drives away.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 Therefore the ungodly will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the ungodly will perish.
