Psalms 1
1
BOOK I.
1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor standeth in the way of sinners,
Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful
2But his delight is in the law of the LORD;
And in his law doth he meditate day and night
3And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
That bringeth forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also doth not wither;
And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4The wicked are not so;
But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away
5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgement,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous
6For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous:
But the way of the wicked shall perish.

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.
