Psalms 1

BOOK I
(Psalms 1–41)
The Two Ways
1How happy is the man
who does not follow # Lit not walk in the advice of the wicked
or take # Lit stand in the path of sinners
or join a group # Or or sit in the seat of mockers! # Ps 26:4-5; Pr 4:14-15
2Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,
and he meditates on it day and night. # Jos 1:8; Ps 40:8; 119:14-16
3He is like a tree planted beside streams of water # Or beside irrigation canals
that bears its fruit in season # Lit in its season # Rv 22:2
and whose leaf does not wither. # Ps 92:12-14; Jr 17:8
Whatever he does prospers. # Dt 5:33
4The wicked are not like this;
instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away. # Jb 21:18; Ps 35:5; Hs 13:3
5Therefore the wicked will not survive # Lit stand in the judgment, # Ps 5:5; 9:16; 76:7; Jr 25:31
and sinners will not be in the community of the righteous.
6For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, # Jb 34:21; Ps 37:18; Nah 1:7; Jn 10:14; 2Tm 2:19
but the way of the wicked leads to ruin. # Pr 21:12; Jn 3:16

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.
