1:1  How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

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

1:3  He will be like 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 are not so, But they are like 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, But the way of the wicked will perish.
