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 1
(Psalms 1-41)
1Great blessings belong to those
who don’t listen to evil advice,
who don’t live like sinners,
and who don’t join those who make fun of God.#1:1 Or “The one who does not follow the advice of the wicked or turn onto Sinners Road or stay at Scoffers’ House is blessed.”
2Instead, they love the Lord’s teachings
and think about them day and night.
3So they grow strong,
like a tree planted by a stream—
a tree that produces fruit when it should
and has leaves that never fall.
Everything they do is successful.
4But the wicked are not like that.
They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5When the time for judgment comes, the wicked will be found guilty.
Sinners have no place among those who do what is right.#1:5 Or “The wicked will not be allowed to sit as judges nor sinners in the meeting of good people.”
6The Lord shows his people how to live,
but the wicked have lost their way.
