1 O the blessedness of that one, || Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, || And has not stood in the way of sinners, || And has not sat in the seat of scorners; 2 But his delight [is] in the Law of YHWH, || And in His law he meditates by day and by night: 3 And he has been as a tree, || Planted by streams of water, || That gives its fruit in its season, || And its leaf does not wither, || And all that he does he causes to prosper. 4 Not so the wicked: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away! 5 Therefore the wicked do not rise in judgment, || Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous, 6 For YHWH is knowing the way of the righteous, || And the way of the wicked is lost!
