A week of Psalms

PSALM 1

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked

or stand in the way of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers

But his delight is in the law of the Lord

and on his law he mediates day and night

He is like a tree planted by the streams of water

which yields its fruit in season

and whose leaf does not wither

Whatever he does prospers

Not so the wicked, they are like chaff

that the wind blows away

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment

no sinners in the assembly of the righteous

For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous

but the way of the wicked will perish
