1:1-6
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Blessed are those who don't listen to the ungodly,
stay away from sinners and scoffers,
and meditate on God's law day and night.
4The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
The ungodly are like chaff that the wind blows away. [1]
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
God knows the way of the righteous [2],
but ungodly people will die.
