Psalm 1_1 - Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

The Two Ways

¹ How happy is the one who does not walk in the advice of the wicked or stand in the pathway with sinners or sit in the company of mockers!

² Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night.

³ He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams that bears its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

⁴ The wicked are not like this; instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.

⁵ Therefore the wicked will not stand up in the judgement, 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 ruin.
