Psalms 1

1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:

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 the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.

2 But his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

3 And 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 like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

4 The 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 congregation of the righteous.

5 Therefore 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.

6 For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
