Chapter 1
1 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked , nor stand on the path of sinners , nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his delight is in Yahweh ’s law . On his law he meditates day and night .
3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water , that produces its fruit in its season , whose leaf also does not wither . Whatever he does shall prosper .
4 The wicked are not so , but are like the chaff which the wind drives away .
5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment , nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous .
6 For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous , but the way of the wicked shall perish.
