1 Blessed is the manwho walks not in the counsel of the wicked,nor stands in the way of sinners,nor sits 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 He is like a treeplanted by streams of waterthat yields its fruit in its season,and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.
4 The wicked are not so,but are like chaff that the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;
