Psalm 1

Blessed is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners *

and hath not sat in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord *

and in his law will he exercise himself day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the water-side *

that will bring forth his fruit in due season.

His leaf also shall not wither *

and look, whatsoever he doeth, it shall prosper.

As for the ungodly, it is not so with them *

but they are like the chaff, which the wind scattereth away from the face of the earth.

Therefore the ungodly shall not be able to stand in the judgement *

neither the sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

But the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous *

and the way of the ungodly shall perish.
