Psalms 1

1 Happy are those who don't listen to the wicked, who don't go where sinners go, who don't do what evil people do.

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 They love the Lord's teachings, and they think about those teachings day and night.

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

3 They are strong, like a tree planted by a river. The tree produces fruit in season, and its leaves don't die. Everything they do will succeed.

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 But wicked people are not like that. They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

5 So the wicked will not escape God's punishment. Sinners will not worship with God's people.

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 This is because the Lord takes care of his people, but the wicked will be destroyed.

6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
