The Two Ways

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
(Psalms 1–41)
Psalm 1
1The truly happy person
doesn’t follow wicked advice,
doesn’t stand on the road of sinners,
and doesn’t sit with the disrespectful.
2Instead of doing those things,
these persons love the LORD’s Instruction,
and they recite God’s Instruction day and night!
3They are like a tree replanted by streams of water,
which bears fruit at just the right time
and whose leaves don’t fade.
Whatever they do succeeds.
4That’s not true for the wicked!
They are like dust that the wind blows away.
5And that’s why the wicked will have no standing in the court of justice—
neither will sinners
in the assembly of the righteous.
6The LORD is intimately acquainted
with the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked is destroyed.
