Chapter 1
Psalms
Verse 1Blessed is the manwho walks not in the counsel of the wicked,nor stands in the way of sinners,nor sits in the seat of scoffers;Verse 2but his delight is in the law of the LORD,and on his law he meditates day and night.Verse 3He is like a treeplanted by streams of waterthat yields its fruit in its season,and its leaf does not wither.In all that he does, he prospers.Verse 4The wicked are not so,but are like chaff that the wind drives away.Verse 5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;Verse 6for the LORD knows the way of the righteous,but the way of the wicked will perish.
