Tehillim 1

TEHILLIM
1Blessed is the ish that walketh not in the Etzah (counsel, scheme) of the Resha'im, nor standeth in the Derech Chatta'im, nor sitteth in the Moshav (seat) of the Leitzim (scornful, ones mocking and reviling).
2But his delight is in the Torat Hashem; and in His torah doth he meditate yomam v'lailah.
3And he shall be like an etz planted by the streams of mayim, that bringeth forth its p'ri in its season; the leaf thereof also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4The Resha'im are not so, but are like the chaff which the ruach driveth away.
5Therefore the Resha'im shall not stand in the Mishpat, nor Chatta'im (sinners) in the Adat Tzaddikim.
6For Hashem knoweth the Derech Tzaddikim, but the Derech Resha'im shall perish.#1:6 The next Psalm says that the whole world, all the earth, is, or will be, the possession of Moshiach, and that Hashem assures Moshiach of this; therefore, the Great Commission (Mt 28:19-20) was given to preach Moshiach to the ends of the earth that the whole world may hear.

Psalms 1
1
Book 1
(Psalms 1-41)
1Great blessings belong to those
who don’t listen to evil advice,
who don’t live like sinners,
and who don’t join those who make fun of God.#1:1 Or “The one who does not follow the advice of the wicked or turn onto Sinners Road or stay at Scoffers’ House is blessed.”
2Instead, they love the Lord’s teachings
and think about them day and night.
3So they grow strong,
like a tree planted by a stream—
a tree that produces fruit when it should
and has leaves that never fall.
Everything they do is successful.
4But the wicked are not like that.
They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5When the time for judgment comes, the wicked will be found guilty.
Sinners have no place among those who do what is right.#1:5 Or “The wicked will not be allowed to sit as judges nor sinners in the meeting of good people.”
6The Lord shows his people how to live,
but the wicked have lost their way.
