King James Version

Psalms • Chapter 1

1 Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of scoffers. 2 For if in the law of the Lord is his delight, and in his law he meditates day and night. 3 And it will be like a tree planted by streams of water, that gives its fruit in its season, and its leaf will not wither, and everything that he does will succeed. 4 Not so the wicked; they are like chaff that the wind drives away. 5 Therefore, the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
