Psalm 1

VERSE 1

Blessed is the man that walketh not

in the counsel of the ungodly,

nor standeth in the way of sinners,

nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

 

VERSE 2

But his delight is in the law of the Lord ;

and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted

by the rivers of water

 

VERSE 3

He shall bring forth fruit in his season

his leaf also shall not wither

whatever he doeth, he shall prosper.

But the ungodly are not so:

 

VERSE 4

They are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

The ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in the congregation

of the righteous.

 

VERSE 5

For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous:

But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Blessed is the man that walketh not

in the counsel of the ungodly,

nor standeth in the way of sinners,

nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
