Psalm 1
Choosing the Righteous Path





1 Blessed is the one who shuns the counsel of the wicked,


Who does not walk with wrongdoers,


Or stand in the way of those who mock the Divine.


2 Such a person delights in the Lord's teachings,


And meditates on them, both day and night.


3 They are like a sturdy tree planted by streams of water,


Yielding its fruit in due season,


Whose leaves do not wither,


And in all they do, they prosper.


4 Yet the wicked are not so;


They are like chaff that the wind scatters.


5 They will not withstand judgment,


Nor stand among the righteous in the assembly of the Divine.


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


But the way of the wicked leads to ruin.
