1 Blessed [is] the man Who walks

not in the counsel of the ungodly,

Nor stands in the path of sinners,

Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

2 But his delight

[is] in the law of the LORD,

And in His law

he meditates day and night.

3 He shall be like a tree

Planted by the rivers of water,

That brings forth its fruit in its season,

Whose leaf also shall not wither;

And whatever he does shall prosper.

4 The ungodly [are] not so,

But [are] like the chaff

which the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the ungodly

shall 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 ungodly shall perish.
