Psalm 1

₁Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners,

Nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

₂But his delight is in the law of the LORD;

And in his law doth he meditate day and night.

₃And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,

That bringeth forth his fruit in his season;

His leaf also shall not wither;

And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

₄The ungodly are not so:

But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

₅Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

₆For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous:

But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
