Psalm 1

New International Version

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.
