Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
|
| 2 |
but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.
|
| 3 |
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.
|
| 4 |
The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
|
| 5 |
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
|
| 6 |
for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
|

| Nor stand where sinners love to talk, |
| nor sit on seats where the proud belong. |

| Both day and night his heart recites |
| the Word that’s written there. |

| with roots that drink and stay; |
| Its leaf is green through every year, |
| its fruit comes in its day. |

| Not so the evil! They are blown, |
| like dust before the breeze; |

| The Lord will watch the righteous, |
| their steps are in His sight; |
