Psalms Chapter 1

1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:
2But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.
3And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
4The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish.
