# Chapter 1
|
|
1 Oh, the joys of those who do not
|
|
follow the advice of the wicked,
|
|
or stand around with sinners,
|
|
or join in with mockers.
|
|
2 But they delight in the law of the Lord,
|
|
meditating on it day and night.
|
|
3 They are like trees planted along the riverbank,
|
|
bearing fruit each season.
|
|
Their leaves never wither,
|
|
and they prosper in all they do.
|
|
4 But not the wicked!
|
|
They are like worthless chaff, scattered by the wind.
|
|
5 They will be condemned at the time of judgment.
|
|
Sinners will have no place among the godly.
|
|
6 For the Lord watches over the path of the godly,
|
|
but the path of the wicked leads to destruction. |
