Psalm
Psalms, 1
BOOK ONE
(Psalms 1 – 41)
1 Happy is the man*1 that has not walked in the counsel of the wicked ones, And in the way of sinners has not stood, And in the seat of ridiculers has not sat.
|
2 But his delight is in the law of Jehovah, And in his law he reads in an undertone day and night.
3 And he will certainly become like a tree planted by streams of water, That gives its own fruit in its season And the foliage of which does not wither, And everything he does will succeed.
4 The wicked are not like that, But are like the chaff that the wind*1 drives away.
|
5 That is why the wicked ones will not stand up in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of righteous ones.
6 For Jehovah is taking knowledge of the way of righteous ones, But the very way of wicked ones will perish.
