BOOK ONE: Psalms 1—41 The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly
Who walks not in the counsel of the1 ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
bNor sits in the seat of the scornful;
aPlanted by the1 rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall bprosper.
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
