Psalm 1 (BCP 2019)

1   Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, *
        nor stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of the scornful;
2   But his delight is in the law of the LORD, *
        and on his law will he meditate day and night.
3   And he shall be like a tree planted by the waterside, *
        that will bring forth his fruit in due season.
4   His leaf also shall not wither; *
        and look, whatever he does, it shall prosper.
5   As for the ungodly, it is not so with them; *
        but they are like the chaff, which the wind scatters away from the face of the earth.
6   Therefore the ungodly shall not be able to stand in the judgment, *
        neither the sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
7   For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, *
        but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
