Psalms 01 The Happiness of the Righteous and the Punishment of the Wicked

 Psalms 01

The Happiness of the Righteous and the Punishment of the Wicked

1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit 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 For he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that yields its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither; and whatever he does prospers.

4 The wicked are not so, but are like chaff which the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the wicked shall 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 shall perish.
