1:1  Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful.

1:2  But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in His law does he meditate day and night.

1:3  And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water that brings forth its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not wither, and all that he does shall prosper.

1:4  The wicked are not so, but they are like chaff which the wind drives away.

1:5  Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;

1:6  For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
