1 Blessed is the man who does not walkin the counsel of the wicked,Nor stand in the way of sinners,nor sit in company with scoffers.
2 Rather, the law of the Lord is his joy;and on his law he meditates day and night.
3 He is like a treeplanted near streams of water,that yields its fruit in season;Its leaves never wither;whatever he does prospers.
4 But not so are the wicked, not so!They are like chaff driven by the wind.
5 Therefore the wicked will not arise at the judgment,nor will sinners in the assembly of the just.
6 Because the Lord knows the way of the just,but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.
