1 Blessed [is] the man that does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful.2 But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD, and in his law he meditates day and night.3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he does shall prosper.4 The ungodly [are] not so but [are] like the chaff which the wind drives away.5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.:
