Psalm 1 - Holy Bible: Easy-to-Read Version

Book 1 (Psalms 1-41)

¹ Great blessings belong to those who don’t listen to evil advice, who don’t live like sinners, and who don’t join those who make fun of God.

² Instead, they love the Lord’s teachings and think about them day and night.

³ So they grow strong, like a tree planted by a stream— a tree that produces fruit when it should and has leaves that never fall. Everything they do is successful.

⁴ But the wicked are not like that. They are like chaff that the wind blows away.

⁵ When the time for judgment comes, the wicked will be found guilty. Sinners have no place among those who do what is right.

⁶ The Lord shows his people how to live, but the wicked have lost their way.
