| 1. | Blessed is the man who 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 tree planted by streams of water, that 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 which the wind drives away. |
| 5. | Therefore the wicked 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 wicked will perish. |
