Psalm 1

New American Standard Bible

BOOK 1

The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.

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!
²But his ^(E)delight is ^(F)in the Law of the Lord,
And on His Law he meditates ^(G)day and ^(H)night.
³He will be like ^(I)a tree planted by ^[b]streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season,
And its ^[c]leaf does not wither;
And ^[d]in whatever he does, ^(J)he prospers.

⁴The wicked are not so,
But they are like ^(K)chaff which the wind blows away.
⁵Therefore ^(L)the wicked will not stand in the ^(M)judgment,
Nor sinners in ^(N)the assembly of the righteous.
⁶For the Lord ^[e]^(O)knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of ^(P)the wicked will perish.

Psalm 26

New American Standard Bible

Protestation of Integrity and Prayer for Protection.

A Psalm of David.

26 ^[a]^(A)Vindicate me, Lord, for I have ^(B)walked in my integrity,
And I have ^(C)trusted in the Lord ^[b]^(D)without wavering.
²^(E)Examine me, Lord, and put me to the test;
^(F)Refine my ^[c]mind and my heart.
³For Your ^(G)^[d]goodness is before my eyes,
And I have ^(H)walked in Your truth.
⁴I do not ^(I)sit with ^[e]deceitful people,
Nor will I go with ^[f]^(J)pretenders.
⁵I ^(K)hate the assembly of evildoers,
And I will not sit with the wicked.
⁶I will ^(L)wash my hands in innocence,
And I will go around ^(M)Your altar, Lord,
⁷That I may proclaim with the voice of ^(N)thanksgiving
And declare all Your ^[g]wonders.

⁸Lord, I ^(O)love the dwelling of Your house,
And the place ^[h]where Your ^(P)glory remains.
⁹^(Q)Do not ^[i]take my soul away along with sinners,
Nor my life with ^(R)men of bloodshed,
¹⁰In whose hands is a ^(S)wicked scheme,
And whose right hand is full of ^(T)bribes.
¹¹But as for me, I will ^(U)walk in my integrity;
^(V)Redeem me, and be gracious to me.
¹²^(W)My foot stands on ^(X)level ground;
In the ^(Y)congregations I will bless the Lord.
