Psalm 1 — True Blessedness

1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, does not stand in the way of sinners, and does not sit in the seat of mockers. 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and he meditates on His law day and night. 3 He will be like a tree planted by streams of water, which gives its fruit in its season and whose leaf does not wither. And everything that he does will prosper. 4 The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind scatters. 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the time of judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
