1 Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of mockers;
2 but in the law of the LORD is his delight, and in his law he meditates by day and by night.
3 He will be like a tree transplanted beside channels of water, that gives its fruit in its time, whose leaf does not fade; and in everything he does he succeeds.
4 Not so are the wicked; rather, they are like chaff that the wind scatters.
5 So the wicked will not stand up in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous;
6 for the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked ends in ruin.
