1 Blessed is the man^[a]
    who ^(A)walks not in ^(B)the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in ^(C)the way of sinners,
    nor ^(D)sits in ^(E)the seat of ^(F)scoffers;
² but his ^(G)delight is in the law^[b] of the Lord,
    and on his ^(H)law he meditates day and night.
³ He is like ^(I)a tree
    planted by ^(J)streams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
    and its ^(K)leaf does not wither.
^(L)In all that he does, he prospers.
⁴ The wicked are not so,
    but are like ^(M)chaff that the wind drives away.
⁵ Therefore the wicked ^(N)will not stand in the judgement,
    nor sinners in ^(O)the congregation of the righteous;
⁶ for the Lord ^(P)knows ^(Q)the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked will perish.
