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 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.
