Psalm 1

1 blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful 2 but his delight is in the law of the lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night 3 and he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper 4 the ungodly are not so but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away 5 therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous 6 for the lord knoweth the way of the righteous but the way of the ungodly shall perish
