Ways of the Righteous and the Ungodly

1 Blessed is the person who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the [1]path of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

2 But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, And on His Law he meditates day and night.

3 He will be like a tree planted by [2]streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season, And its [3]leaf does not wither; And [4]in whatever he does, he prospers.

4 The wicked are not so, But they are like 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 For the LORD [5]knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish.
