1Blessed is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor has stood in the way of sinners, nor has sat in the seat of the scornful. 2But his delight is in the Law of Jehovah; and in His Law he meditates day and night. 3And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in its season, and its leaf shall not wither, and all that he does shall prosper. 4The wicked are not so, but are like chaff which the wind drives away. 5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 6For Jehovah knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.
