• The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.

  • 1 Blessed is the person who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the 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 streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season, And its leaf does not wither; And 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 knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish.
