Psalm 1 BOOK I Psalms 1–41 

1 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 but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night. 

3 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 the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away. 

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
