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.

Poetic Rendering
Psalm 1:1
Blessed is the man who will not walk
in counsel of the wrong,
Nor stand where sinners love to talk,
nor sit on seats where the proud belong.
Psalm 1:2
He delights in the law of God,
and meditates with care;
Both day and night his heart recites
the Word that’s written there.
Psalm 1:3
He’s like a tree near water,
with roots that drink and stay;
Its leaf is green through every year,
its fruit comes in its day.
Psalm 1:4–5
Not so the evil! They are blown,
like dust before the breeze;
They will not stand when God makes known
His judgment’s firm decrees.
Psalm 1:6
The Lord will watch the righteous,
their steps are in His sight;
But those who follow evil paths
will perish in the night.
