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!
² But his ^(E)delight is ^(F)in the Law of the Lord,
And on His Law he meditates ^(G)day and ^(H)night.
³ He 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.

⁹⁷ How I ^(A)love Your Law!
It is my ^(B)meditation all the day.
⁹⁸ Your ^(C)commandments make me wiser than my enemies,
For they are ever ^[a]mine.
⁹⁹ I have more insight than all my teachers,
For Your testimonies are my ^(D)meditation.
