(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.

BOOK ONE: Psalms 1—41
The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly
1Blessed #Prov. 4:14is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
#Ps. 26:4, 5; Jer. 15:17Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2But #Ps. 119:14, 16, 35his delight is in the law of the Lord,
#(Josh. 1:8)And in His law he meditates day and night.
3He shall be like a tree
#(Ps. 92:12–14); Jer. 17:8; Ezek. 19:10Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall #Gen. 39:2, 3, 23; Ps. 128:2prosper.
4The ungodly are not so,
But are #Job 21:18; Ps. 35:5; Is. 17:13like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For #Ps. 37:18; (Nah. 1:7; John 10:14; 2 Tim. 2:19)the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
