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
1Happy are those who don't follow the advice of the wicked. They refuse to adopt the ways of sinful people, and they don't make fun of others.
2Instead they love to do what the law of the Lord says, and they think about it day and night.
3They're like trees growing by flowing rivers, producing fruit every season. Their leaves never wither, and they are successful in all they do.
4But it's not like that for the wicked! They are like chaff, blown away by the wind.
5For this reason the wicked will not survive the judgment—sinners have no place among those who live right.#1:5. “Those who live right”: literally, “the righteous.” However, this term is little used in general non-church language and so in this translation it is replaced with phrases such as “those who live right” or “those who do good/right” etc. This is more than being correct, it means living a life that is morally right.
6For the Lord watches over those who follow the right way, but the way of the wicked leads to death.
