The Book of Psalms

Book I

Psalm 1

 ^1:1Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked,

 Nor standeth in the way of sinners,

 Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:

 ^1:2But his delight is in the law of Jehovah;

 And on his law doth he meditate day and night.

 ^1:3And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water,

 That bringeth forth its fruit in its season,

 Whose leaf also doth not wither;

 And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

 ^1:4The wicked are not so,

 But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

 ^1:5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,

 Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

 ^1:6For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous;

 But the way of the wicked shall perish.
