1:1  A man receives blessings when he walks not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stands in the path of sinners, Nor sits in the seat of scoffers!

1:2  But he delights in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night.

1:3  He will resemble a tree firmly planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers.

1:4  The wicked do not fare as well, But they resemble chaff which the wind drives away.

1:5  Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

1:6  For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
