Psalms 1

1 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of mockers.

2 but his delight is in the LORD’s law. On his Torah he meditates day and night.

But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, and on his law he meditates day and night.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not wither; whatever he does will prosper.

4 The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

The wicked are not so, but are instead like the chaff that the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgement, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

So the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.

For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
