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;

^17 (A)I did not sit in the company of revelers,
    nor did I rejoice;
^(B)I sat alone, because your hand was upon me,
    for you had filled me with indignation.

^115 (A)Depart from me, you evildoers,
    that I may ^(B)keep the commandments of my God.

²⁰ Whoever walks with the wise becomes wise,
    but the companion of fools will suffer harm.

^63 (A)I am a companion of all who fear you,
    of those who keep your precepts.

^11 (A)Whoever works his land ^(B)will have plenty of bread,
    ^(C)but he who follows ^(D)worthless pursuits lacks sense.

⁶ Leave ^(A)your simple ways,^[a] and ^(B)live,
    ^(C)and walk in the way of insight.”

¹⁷ Therefore ^(A)go out from their midst,
    and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
    then I will welcome you,
