Ways of the Righteous and the Ungodly

1 How blessed are those who reject the advice of the wicked, don’t stand on the way of sinners or sit where scoffers sit!

2 Their delight is in ADONAI’s Torah; on his Torah they meditate day and night.

3 They are like trees planted by streams — they bear their fruit in season, their leaves never wither, everything they do succeeds.

4 Not so the wicked, who are like chaff driven by the wind.

5 For this reason the wicked won’t stand up to the judgment, nor will sinners at the gathering of the righteous.

6 For ADONAI watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked is doomed.
