Psalms 1
1
FIRST BOOK
PSALM 1
1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners; 2But his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night. 3And he is as a tree planted by brooks of water, which giveth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.
4The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away. 5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
