1  Blessed is the man

That awalketh not in the counsel of the ||ungodly,

Nor standeth in the way of sinners,

Nor bsitteth in the seat of the cscornful.

2  But dhis delight is in the law of the Lord;

And ein his law doth he meditate day and night.

3  And he shall be flike a tree planted by the rivers of water,

That bringeth forth his fruit in his season;

gHis leaf also shall not †wither;

And whatsoever he doeth shall hprosper.

4  The ungodly are not so:

But are ilike the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5  Therefore the ungodly shall not jstand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6  For kthe Lord knoweth the way of the righteous:

But the way lof the ungodly shall perish.
