Psalm 1:2–5

2 Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,

and he meditates on it day and night.b

3 He is like a tree planted beside flowing streamsA

that bears its fruit in its season,c

and its leaf does not wither.d

Whatever he does prospers.e

4 The wicked are not like this;

instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.f

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand up in the judgment,g

nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
