Ways of the Righteous and the Ungodly

1 Blessed is the man that doth not walk in the [2]counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the ⓐlaw of the Lord, and in his [3]law doth he meditate day and night.

3 For he shall be like a ⓑtree planted by the rivers of waters, that will bring forth her fruits in due season: whose leaf shall not fade: so [4]whatsoever he shall do, shall prosper.

4 [5]The wicked are not so, but as the chaff, which the wind driveth away.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the [6]judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 For the Lord [7]knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.
