1 How blessed is the man who ^(A)does not walk in the ^(B)counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the ^(C)way of sinners,
Nor ^(D)sit in the seat of scoffers!

²² “How long, O ^(A)simple ones, will you love simplicity?
And ^(B)scoffers delight in scoffing
And ^[a]fools ^(C)hate knowledge?

²⁰ For the ^(A)ruthless will come to an end and the ^(B)scoffer will be finished,
Indeed ^(C)all who are watching out to do evil will be cut off;
