Psalms 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;

1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

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

2But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

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.

3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

4 The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away.

4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

5Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

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

6For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
