Psalms 1

Berean Standard Bible

The Two Paths

Verse1Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.

Verse2But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.

Verse3He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does.

Verse4Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.

Verse5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

Verse6For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
