Psalm 1

Psalm 1 1 Blessed is the one     who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take     or sit in the company of mockers, 2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,     and who meditates on his law day and night. 3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,     which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither—     whatever they do prospers. 4 Not so the wicked!     They are like chaff     that the wind blows away. 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,     nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,     but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
