1 Blessed is the manwho walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,nor stands in the path of sinners,nor sits 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 planted by the rivers of water,that brings forth its fruit in its season;its leaf will not wither,and whatever he does will prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so,but are like the chaffwhich the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly will 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 ungodly will perish.
