Psalm 1 :: Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

BOOK I

(Psalms 1–41)

The Two Ways

¶

How happy is the one who does not

walk in the advice of the wicked

or stand in the pathway with sinners

or sit in the company of mockers!

¶

Instead, his delight is in the LORD’s instruction,

and he meditates on it day and night.

¶

He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams[fn]

that bears its fruit in its season,

and its leaf does not wither.

Whatever he does prospers.

¶

The wicked are not like this;

instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.

¶

Therefore the wicked will not stand up in the judgment,

nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

¶

For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.
