Blessed is the one

         who does not walk in step with the wicked

                  or stand in the way that sinners take

         or sit in the company of mockers,

     2             but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,

         and who meditates on his law day and night.

     3             That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,

         which yields its fruit in season

                  and whose leaf does not wither — ​

         whatever they do prospers.

     4             Not so the wicked!

         They are like chaff

         that the wind blows away.

     5             Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

         nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

     6             For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,

         but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
