Psalm  Chapter 1    Back    Next

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.
