Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.

1 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path 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.

2 but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night.

3 He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

4 Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.

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

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.

6 For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
