1 Blessed is the person who ^(A)does not walk in the ^(B)counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the ^[a](C)path of sinners,
Nor ^(D)sit in the seat of scoffers!

³ “Let’s ^(A)tear their shackles apart
And throw their ropes away from us!”

² Many are saying of my soul,
“There is no ^(A)salvation for him in God.” Selah

⁴ Who ^(A)have said, “With our tongue we will prevail;
Our lips are ^[a]our own; who is lord over us?”

14 The fool has ^(A)said in his heart, “There is no God.”
They are corrupt, they have committed detestable acts;
There is ^(B)no one who does good.
