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.
