Book One

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 1:1 - Blessed is the man[fn]
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 1:2 - but his delight is in the law[fn] of the LORD,
and on his law he meditates day and night.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 1:3 - He is like a tree
planted by streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 1:4 - The wicked are not so,
but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 1:5 - Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 1:6 - for the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked will perish.
