Psalms 1

1Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, Nor stands in the way of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of the troublesome;

2But his will is in the law of the Lord, And in His law he meditates day and night.

3He shall be like a tree Planted by streams of waters, That produces its fruit in its season; And his leaf shall not wither, And whatever he does shall prosper.

4Not so are the ungodly, not so, But they are like the dust the wind drives from the face of the earth.

5Therefore the ungodly shall not rise in the judgment, Nor sinners in the counsel of the righteous;

6For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
