Psalms 1

¹ How blessed is anyone who rejects the advice of the wicked and does not take a stand in the path that sinners tread, nor a seat in company with cynics,

² but who delights in the law of Yahweh and murmurs his law day and night.

³ Such a one is like a tree planted near streams; it bears fruit in season and its leaves never wither, and every project succeeds.

⁴ How different the wicked, how different! Just like chaff blown around by the wind

⁵ the wicked will not stand firm at the Judgement nor sinners in the gathering of the upright.

⁶ For Yahweh watches over the path of the upright, but the path of the wicked is doomed.
