<< Psalm 1 >> New American Standard Bible ©   BOOK 1 The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted. 1 How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,  Nor stand in the path of sinners,  Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD,  And in His law he meditates day and night. 3 He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water,  Which yields its fruit in its season  And its leaf does not wither;  And in whatever he does, he prospers. 4 The wicked are not so,  But they are like chaff which the wind drives away. 5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,  Nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. 6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,  But the way of the wicked will perish.
