Psalms 1—41
True Happiness
1Happy are those
who reject the advice of evil people,
who do not follow the example of sinners
or join those who have no use for God.
2Instead, they find joy in obeying the Law of the LORD,
and they study it day and night.

Jer 17.8
They are like trees that grow beside a stream,
that bear fruit at the right time,
and whose leaves do not dry up.
They succeed in everything they do.
4But evil people are not like this at all;
they are like straw that the wind blows away.
5Sinners will be condemned by God
and kept apart from God's own people.
6The righteous are guided and protected by the LORD,
but the evil are on the way to their doom.

Tehillim (Psalms) 1
1
1Blessed is the man who shall not walk in the counsel of the wrong, And shall not stand in the path of sinners, And shall not sit in the seat of scoffers,
2But his delight is in the Torah of יהוה, And he meditates in His Torah day and night.
3For he shall be as a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That yields its fruit in its season, And whose leaf does not wither, And whatever he does prospers.
4The wrong are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind blows away.
5Therefore the wrong shall not rise in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For יהוה knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wrong comes to naught.
