Psalm 1

Christian Standard Bible

Psalm 1

The Two Ways

¹How happy is the one who does not
walk in the advice of the wicked
or stand in the pathway with sinners
or sit in the company of mockers!^(A)
²Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,
and he meditates on it day and night.^(B)
³He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams^[a]
that bears its fruit in its season,^(C)
and its leaf does not wither.^(D)
Whatever he does prospers.^(E)

⁴The wicked are not like this;
instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.^(F)
⁵Therefore the wicked will not stand up in the judgment,^(G)
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

⁶For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,^(H)
but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.^(I)
