1 How blessed is the one who does not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of scoffers! Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers; Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,
2 Instead he finds pleasure in obeying the LORD's commands; he meditates on his commands day and night. but his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 He is like a tree planted by flowing streams; it yields its fruit at the proper time, and its leaves never fall off. He succeeds in everything he attempts. He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers. That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.
4 Not so with the wicked! Instead they are like wind-driven chaff. The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5 For this reason the wicked cannot withstand judgment, nor can sinners join the assembly of the godly. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 Certainly the LORD guards the way of the godly, but the way of the wicked ends in destruction. for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
