Psalm 1
The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.
1Blessed is the person who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the #1:1 Or waypath of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!
2But his delight is in the Law of the Lord,
And on His Law he meditates day and night.
3He will be like a tree planted by #1:3 Or canalsstreams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season,
And its #1:3 Or foliageleaf does not wither;
And #1:3 Or all that he does prospersin whatever he does, he prospers.
4¶The wicked are not so,
But they are like chaff which the wind blows away.
5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6For the Lord #1:6 Or approves; or has regard toknows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.

Psalms 1
1
Two Ways to Live
1Happy is the person who doesn’t listen to the wicked.
He doesn’t go where sinners go.
He doesn’t do what bad people do.
2He loves the Lord’s teachings.
He thinks about those teachings day and night.
3He is strong, like a tree planted by a river.
It produces fruit in season.
Its leaves don’t die.
Everything he does will succeed.
4But wicked people are not like that.
They are like useless chaff
that the wind blows away.
5So the wicked will not escape God’s punishment.
Sinners will not worship God with good people.
6This is because the Lord protects good people.
But the wicked will be destroyed.
