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.

Psalms 1
1
1Blessed is the man that doeth not walke in the counsell of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in ye seate of the scornefull: 2But his delite is in the Lawe of the Lord, and in his Lawe doeth he meditate day and night. 3For he shall be like a tree planted by the riuers of waters, that will bring foorth her fruite in due season: whose leafe shall not fade: so whatsoeuer he shall doe, shall prosper. 4The wicked are not so, but as the chaffe, which the winde driueth away. 5Therefore the wicked shall not stande in the iudgement, nor sinners in the assemblie of the righteous. 6For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.
