Psalm 1

¹Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
²But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

⁴The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
⁵Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
⁶For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
