1 How blessed is the one who does not follow the advice of the wicked,or stand in the pathway with sinners,or sit in the assembly of scoffers!
2 Instead he finds pleasure in obeying the Lord’s commands;he meditates on his commands day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by flowing streams;it yields its fruit at the proper time,and its leaves never fall off.He succeeds in everything he attempts.
4 Not so with the wicked!Instead they are like wind-driven chaff.
5 For this reason the wicked cannot withstand judgment,nor can sinners join the assembly of the godly.
6 Certainly the Lord guards the way of the godly,but the way of the wicked ends in destruction.
