1 Blessed are they who have not walked
in the counsel of the wicked, ♦︎
nor lingered in the way of sinners,
nor sat in the assembly of the scornful.
2 Their delight is in the law of the Lord ♦︎
and they meditate on his law day and night.
3 Like a tree planted by streams of water
bearing fruit in due season, with leaves that do not wither, ♦︎
whatever they do, it shall prosper.
4 As for the wicked, it is not so with them; ♦︎
they are like chaff which the wind blows away.
5 Therefore the wicked shall not be able to stand in the judgement, ♦︎
nor the sinner in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, ♦︎
but the way of the wicked shall perish.

1 I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and be glad.
3 O magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears.
5 Look to him, and be radiant;
so your* faces shall never be ashamed.
6 This poor soul cried, and was heard by the Lord,
and was saved from every trouble.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps
around those who fear him, and delivers them.
