Blessed is the man

who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of the sinners,

nor sits in the seat of the scoffers;
but his delight is in the law of the Lord,

and on his law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree

planted by streams of water,
that yields its fruit in its season,

and its leaf does not wither.
In all that he does, he prospers.


The wicked are not so,


but are like chaff which the wind drives away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement,

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked will perish.
