Psalms

Psalm 1

1 How blessed is the person, who does not take ^b the advice of the wicked, who does not stand on the path with sinners, and who does not sit in the seat of mockers.

2 But he delights in the LORD’s instruction, ^c and meditates in his instruction ^d day and night.

3 He will be like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in its season, and whose leaf does not wither. He will prosper in everything he does.

4 But this is not the case with the wicked. They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

5 Therefore the wicked will not escape ^e judgment, nor will sinners have a place ^f in the assembly of the righteous.

6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will be destroyed.
