Ways of the Righteous and the Ungodly

1 [1] How blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked, who does not stand on the path with sinners, and who does not sit in a meeting with mockers.

2 But his delight is in the teaching[2] of the LORD, and on his teaching he meditates day and night.

3 He is like a tree planted beside streams of water, which yields its fruit in season, and its leaves do not wither. Everything he does prospers.

4 Not so the wicked! No, they are like the chaff which the wind blows away.

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 Yes, the LORD approves[3] of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
