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.

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.
