# Psalm 1 (New King James Version)
Psalms 1–41The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly

##### Chapter 1
###### 1 Blessed _is_ the man  
Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly,  
Nor stands in the path of sinners,  
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;  

###### 2 But his delight _is_ in the law of the Lord,  
And in His law he meditates day and night.  

###### 3 He shall be like a tree  
Planted by the rivers of water,  
That brings forth its fruit in its season,  
Whose leaf also shall not wither;  
And whatever he does shall prosper.

###### 4 The ungodly _are_ not so,  
But _are_ like the chaff which the wind drives away.  

###### 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,  
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

###### 6 For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,  
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.
