| Chapter 1 |
1 | Blessed 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: |
2 | But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night. |
3 | And 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. |
4 | The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. |
5 | Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. |
6 | For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish. |
