Chapter 1
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;
2 But his delight is in Jehovah's law, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
1:8; 119:1; 119:35; 119:47; 119:92; 119:97;
3 And he [is] as a tree planted by brooks of water, which giveth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf fadeth not; and all that he doeth prospereth.
39:3; 39:23; 128:2; 3:10; 17:8; 47:12;
4 The wicked are not so; but are as the chaff which the wind driveth away.
21:18; 35:5; 17:13; 29:5; 13:3;
5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
