Psalm 1

1 Blessed indeed is the man

who follows not the counsel of the wicked,

nor stands in the path with sinners,

nor abides in the company of scorners,

2 but whose delight is the law of the LORD,

and who ponders his law day and night.

3 He is like a tree that is planted

beside the flowing waters,

that yields its fruit in due season,

and whose leaves shall never fade;

and all that he does shall prosper.

4 Not so are the wicked, not so!

For they, like winnowed chaff,

shall be driven away by the wind.

5 When the wicked are judged they shall not rise,

nor shall sinners in the council of the just;

6 for the LORD knows the way of the just,

but the way of the wicked will perish.
