Blessed is the person who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,

Nor stand in the (a)1:1 Or waypath of sinners,

Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!Psa 26:4; Jer 15:17; Pro 10:30

And on His Law he meditates day and night.Jos 1:8

He will be like a tree planted by (b)1:3 Or canalsstreams of water,

Which yields its fruit in its season,

And its (c)1:3 Or foliageleaf does not wither;

And (d)1:3 Or all that he does prospersin whatever he does, he prospers.Psa 92:12; Jer 17:8

¶The wicked are not so,

But they are like chaff which the wind blows away.Job 21:18; Isa 29:5

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.Mat 25:32

For the Lord (e)1:6 Or approves; or has regard toknows the way of the righteous,

But the way of the wicked will perish.Nam 1:7; Jhn 10:14; 2Ti 2:19
