Psalm 1
Beatus vir qui non abiit
1
Happy are they who have not walked in the counsel of the wicked,
nor lingered in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seats of the scornful!
2
Their delight is in the law of the LORD ,
and they meditate on his law day and night.
3
They are like trees planted by streams of water, bearing fruit in due season, with leaves that do not wither;
everything they do shall prosper.
4
It is not so with the wicked;
they are like chaff which the wind blows away.
5
Therefore the wicked shall not stand upright when judgment comes,
nor the sinner in the council of the righteous.
6
For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked is doomed.
