Blessed is the man who walks not
in the counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;

But his delight is in the law
of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates
day and night.
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

The ungodly are not so,
But are like the chaff which
the wind drives away.
Therefore the ungodly shall not stand
in the judgement,
Nor sinners in the congregation
of the righteous.

For the Lord knows the way
of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly
shall perish.
