Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the way of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

2 But his delight is in Yahweh’s law;
On his law he meditates day and night.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also does not wither.
Whatever he does shall prosper.

4 The wicked are not so,
But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked shall perish.
