Chapter 1
1 The happiness of the godly. 4 The unhappiness of the ungodly.
1 Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.
Original Hebrew
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night.
Original Hebrew
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.
Original Hebrew
4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
Original Hebrew
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
Original Hebrew
6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
