1 Blessed ^(A)is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the ^[a]ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
^(B)Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
² But ^(C)his delight is in the law of the Lord,
^(D)And in His law he ^[b]meditates day and night.

³ He shall be like a tree
^(A)Planted by the ^[a]rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall ^(B)prosper.
