Psalm 1
The Two Ways
1How happy is the one who does not
walk in the advice of the wicked
or stand in the pathway with sinners
or sit in the company of mockers!#Ps 26:4–5; Pr 4:14–15
2Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,
and he meditates on it day and night.#Jos 1:8; Ps 40:8; 119:14–16
3He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams#1:3 Or beside irrigation channels
that bears its fruit in its season,#Rv 22:2
and its leaf does not wither.#Ps 92:12–14; Jr 17:8
Whatever he does prospers.#Dt 5:33
4The wicked are not like this;
instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.#Jb 21:18; Ps 35:5; Hs 13:3
5Therefore the wicked will not stand up in the judgment,#Ps 5:5; 9:16; 76:7; Jr 25:31
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,#Jb 34:21; Ps 37:18; Nah 1:7; Jn 10:14; 2Tm 2:19
but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.#Pr 21:12; Jn 3:16

Psalms 1—41
The Two Paths
(Matthew 5:3–12; Luke 6:20–23)
1Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
or set foot on the path of sinners,
or sit in the seat of mockers.
2But his delight is in the Law of the Lord,
and on His law he meditates day and night.
3He is like a tree planted by streams of water,
yielding its fruit in season,
whose leaf does not wither,
and who prospers in all he does.
4Not so the wicked!
For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.
5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6For the Lord guards the path of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
