Psalm 1:1-6
1 Happy the man who has not gone by wrong-doers’ policy nor stood in sinners’ road nor sat in cynics’ session,
2 But finds pleasure in Jehovah’s instructions, and his instructions he studies day and night.
3 And he will be like a tree planted by channels of water that bears its fruit in season, and its leaves never fade, and in all he does he will succeed.
4 Not so wrong-doers; not so, but like chaff that a wind blows about.
5 Therefore wrong-doers will not stand in judgment nor sinners in a congregation of honest men,
6 For Jehovah knows honest men’s courses, but wrong-doers’ courses will be lost.
