The Two Ways
1 #
Job 21.16; Ps 17.4; 26.5; Prov 4.14; Jer 15.17 Happy are those
who do not follow the advice of the wicked
or take the path that sinners tread
or sit in the seat of scoffers,
2 #
Josh 1.8; Ps 119.35 but their delight is in the law of the Lord,
and on his law they meditate day and night.
3 #
Gen 39.3; Ps 128.2; Jer 17.8; Ezek 47.12 They are like trees
planted by streams of water,
which yield their fruit in its season,
and their leaves do not wither.
In all that they do, they prosper.
4 #
Job 21.18; Isa 17.13 The wicked are not so
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5 #
Ps 5.5; 9.7, 8, 16; 111.1; 149.1 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous,
6 #
Ps 9.3–6; 37.18; 2 Tim 2.19 for the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will 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.
