Psalms 1

FIRST BOOK
PSALM 1
1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners; 2But his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3And he is as a tree planted by brooks of water, which giveth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.
4The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

BOOK ONE
(Psalms 1–41)
Psalm 1
1Blessed is the person who does not
follow the advice of wicked people,
take the path of sinners,
or join the company of mockers.
2Rather, he delights in the teachings of the Lord
and reflects on his teachings day and night.
3He is like a tree planted beside streams—
a tree that produces fruit in season
and whose leaves do not wither.
He succeeds in everything he does.#1:3 Or “and its leaves do not wither, and whatever it produces thrives.”
4Wicked people are not like that.
Instead, they are like husks that the wind blows away.
5That is why wicked people will not be able to stand in the judgment
and sinners will not be able to stand where righteous people gather.
6The Lord knows the way of righteous people,
but the way of wicked people will end.
