1 How blessed is the manwho1 does not walk in the 2counsel of the wicked, Norstand in the [a]3path of sinners, Nor4sit in the seat of scoffers!
2
But his 5delight is 6in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates7day and 8night.
3
He will be like 9a tree firmly planted by [b]streams of water, Whichyields its fruit in its season And its [c]leaf does not wither; And [d]in whatever* he does, 10he prospers.
4
The wicked are not so, But they are like 11chaffwhich the winddrivesaway.
5
Therefore*12the wicked will not stand in the 13judgment, Norsinners in 14the assembly of the righteous.
6
For the LORD[e]15knows the way of the righteous, But the way of 16the wicked will perish.
