Psalms 1

MSG

NIV

1 How well God must like you - you don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead-End Road, you don't go to Smart-Mouth College.
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 Instead you thrill to God's Word, you chew on Scripture day and night.
2 but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 You're a tree replanted in Eden, bearing fresh fruit every month, Never dropping a leaf, always in blossom.
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 You're not at all like the wicked, who are mere windblown dust -
4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5 Without defense in court, unfit company for innocent people.
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 God charts the road you take. The road they take is Skid Row.
6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
