Psalm 1

The Two Ways

How happy is the man

who does not follow a the advice of the wicked

or take b the path of sinners

or join a group c of mockers! d

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

and he meditates on it day and night. e

He is like a tree planted beside streams of water f

that bears its fruit in season g h

and whose leaf does not wither. i

Whatever he does prospers. j

The wicked are not like this;

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

Therefore the wicked will not survive l the judgment, m

and sinners will not be in the community of the righteous.

For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, n

but the way of the wicked leads to ruin. o

About The Holman Christian Standard Bible

The complete Holman Christian Standard Bible® is now available for the first time ever! More than fifteen years in the making, crafted by the shared expertise of nearly a hundred conservative scholars and English stylists, the Holman CSB® sets the standard in painstaking biblical accuracy and pure literary form.

Accurate, yet highly readable, it's a translation committed to leaving both the grace and gravity of the original languages intact while carefully creating a smooth flow of wording for the reader.

Stylistically, this inaugural edition contributes to the clarity of the written Word, arranging the poetic portions of the Scripture into complete lines of thought, and revering God's presence on each page by capitalizing all the pronouns that refer to Him.
