Psalms

1Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

2but his delight is in the LORD’slaw.On his law he meditates day and night.

3He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

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

5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

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

1Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence.

2But his will is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he shall meditate day and night.

3And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season. And his leaf shall not fall off: and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.

4Not so the wicked, not so: but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.

5Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: nor sinners in the council of the just.

6For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: and the way of the wicked shall perish.
