- 1Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
- 2but his delight is in the Lord’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.
- 3He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.
- 4The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
- 5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
- 6For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
