psalm 1

1:1 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,

nor stand in the way of sinners,

nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

1:2 but his delight is in Yahweh’s law.

On his law he meditates day and night.

1:3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,

that brings forth its fruit in its season,

whose leaf also does not wither.

Whatever he does shall prosper.

1:4 The wicked are not so,

but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

1:5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

1:6 For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked shall perish.
