Psalms 1

¹ Happy those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked, Nor go the way of sinners, nor sit in company with scoffers.

² Rather, the law of the LORD is their joy; God's law they study day and night.

³ They are like a tree planted near streams of water, that yields its fruit in season; Its leaves never wither; whatever they do prospers.

⁴ But not the wicked! They are like chaff driven by the wind.

⁵ Therefore the wicked will not survive judgment, nor will sinners in the assembly of the just.

⁶ The LORD watches over the way of the just, but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.
