The Psalms

BOOK I

 

Psalm 1

1:1Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked,
      Nor stand in the way of sinners,
      Nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

 1:2But his delight is in the law of Yahweh;
      On his law he meditates day and night.

 1:3He shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
      That brings forth its fruit in its season,
      Whose leaf also does not wither.
      Whatever he does shall prosper.

 1:4The wicked are not so,
      But are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

 1:5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,
      Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

 1:6For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous,
      But the way of the wicked shall perish.
