Psalm 1
The Two Ways
1How happy is the one who does not
walk in the advice of the wicked
or stand in the pathway with sinners
or sit in the company of mockers!#Ps 26:4–5; Pr 4:14–15
2Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,
and he meditates on it day and night.#Jos 1:8; Ps 40:8; 119:14–16
3He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams#1:3 Or beside irrigation channels
that bears its fruit in its season,#Rv 22:2
and its leaf does not wither.#Ps 92:12–14; Jr 17:8
Whatever he does prospers.#Dt 5:33
4The wicked are not like this;
instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.#Jb 21:18; Ps 35:5; Hs 13:3
5Therefore the wicked will not stand up in the judgment,#Ps 5:5; 9:16; 76:7; Jr 25:31
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,#Jb 34:21; Ps 37:18; Nah 1:7; Jn 10:14; 2Tm 2:19
but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.#Pr 21:12; Jn 3:16

Book I
Psalms 1–41
Psalm 1
1Blessed is the person who obeys the law of the Lord.
They don’t follow the advice of evil people.
They don’t make a habit of doing what sinners do.
They don’t join those who make fun of the Lord and his law.
2Instead, the law of the Lord gives them joy.
They think about his law day and night.
3That kind of person is like a tree that is planted near a stream of water.
It always bears its fruit at the right time.
Its leaves don’t dry up.
Everything godly people do turns out well.
4Sinful people are not like that at all.
They are like straw
that the wind blows away.
5When the Lord judges them, their life will come to an end.
Sinners won’t have any place among those who are godly.
6The Lord watches over the lives of godly people.
But the lives of sinful people will lead to their death.
