1:1 Blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked [following their advice and example], Nor stand in the path of sinners, Nor sit [down to rest] in the seat of scoffers (ridiculers).
1:2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, And on His law [His precepts and teachings] he [habitually] meditates day and night.
1:3 And he will be like a tree firmly planted [and fed] by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season; Its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers [and comes to maturity].
1:4 The wicked [those who live in disobedience to God’s law] are not so, But they are like the chaff [worthless and without substance] which the wind blows away.
1:5 Therefore the wicked will not stand [unpunished] in the judgment, Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
1:6 For the Lord knows and fully approves the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked shall perish.
