Psalm 1

Psalm 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:

²But his delight is in the law of Jehovah;

And on 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.

⁴The wicked are not so,

But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

⁵Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

⁶For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous;

But the way of the wicked shall perish.
