1 Happy
is the man that has not walked in the
counsel of the wicked ones,
And in the way of sinners has not stood,
And in the seat of ridiculers has not sat.
2
But his delight is in the law of Jehovah,
And in his law he reads in an undertone
day and night.
3
And he will certainly become like a tree
planted by streams of water,
That gives its own fruit in its season
And the foliage of which does not wither,
And everything he does will succeed.
4 The wicked are not
like that,
But are like the chaff that the wind drives away.
5 That is why the
wicked ones will not
stand up in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the assembly of righteous ones.
6 For Jehovah
is taking knowledge of the
way of righteous ones,
But the very way of wicked ones will perish.
―Psalms 1:1-6.
