+ Psalms 1 >

1 Happy are those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked, not halting in ways frequented by sinners, nor taking a seat in a gathering of scoffers. 2 But the law of the Lord is their joy, they study it day and night. 3 They are like trees planted by runlets of water, yielding fruit in due season, leaves never fading. In all that they do, they prosper. 4 Not so fare the wicked, not so; like chaff are they, blown by the wind. 5 So the wicked will not stand firm in the judgment, nor sinners appear, when the righteous are gathered. 6 For the way of the righteous is dear to the Lord, but the way of the wicked will end in ruin.
