The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

1 Blessed is the man1

who awalks not in bthe counsel of the wicked,

nor stands in cthe way of sinners,

nor dsits in ethe seat of fscoffers;

2  but his gdelight is in the law2 of the Lord,

and on his hlaw he meditates day and night.

3  He is like ia tree

planted by jstreams of water

that yields its fruit in its season,

and its kleaf does not wither.

lIn all that he does, he prospers.
