¹ How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the path of sinners,
Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! ² But his delight is in the law of the LORD,
And in His law he meditates day and night. ³ He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its leaf does not wither;
And in whatever he does, he prospers. ⁴ The wicked are not so,
But they are like chaff which the wind drives away. ⁵ Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. ⁶ For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the wicked will perish.
