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
Torah Is a Tree of Wisdom
1Happy is the one who has not walked in the advice of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of scoffers.
2But his delight is in the Torah of Adonai, and on His Torah he meditates day and night.
3He will be like a planted tree over streams of water, producing its fruit during its season. Its leaf never droops— but in all he does, he succeeds.
4The wicked are not so. For they are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5Therefore the wicked will not stand during the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For Adonai knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.
