Psalm 1New King James Version
BOOK ONE
Psalms 1–41
The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly
1 Blessed(A)isthe man
Who walks not in the counsel of the[a]ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
(B)Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But(C)his delightisin the law of theLord,
(D)And in His law he[b]meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
(E)Planted by the[c]rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall(F)prosper.
4 The ungodlyarenot so,
Butare(G)like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For(H)theLordknows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
