| Chapter 1 |
1 | Blessed is the man that walketh not
in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth
in the seat of the scornful. |
2 | But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law
doth he meditate day and night. |
3 | And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. |
4 | The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff
which the wind driveth away. |
5 | Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor
sinners in the congregation of the righteous. |
6 | For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous:
but the way of the ungodly shall perish. |
