Psalms 1

World English Bible (WEB) — public domain

1. 1 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
2. 2 but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.
3. 3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.
4. 4 The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5. 5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6. 6 For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
