PSALM 1

Psalm 1  [nasb]

BOOK 1

The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.

[vs 1] How blessed is the man who (A)does 

not walk in the (B)counsel of the wicked,

Nor stand in the [a](C)path of sinners,

Nor (D)sit in the seat of scoffers!

[vs 2] But his (E)delight is (F)in 

the law of the LORD,

(G)day and (H)night.

[vs 3] He will be like (I)a tree firmly planted 

by [b]streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season

And its [c]leaf does not wither;

And [d]in whatever he does, (J)he prospers.

[vs 4] The wicked are not so,

But they are like (K)chaff which the wind drives away.

[vs 5] Therefore (L)the wicked will not stand in the (M)judgment,

Nor sinners in (N)the assembly of the righteous.

[vs 6]  For the LORD [e](O)knows the way of the righteous,

But the way of (P)the wicked will perish.
