The Bible
Psalm 1
[BOOK 1]
1Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand on the path of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
2but his delight is in Yahweh's law.
On his law he meditates day and night.
3He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
that produces its fruit in its season,
whose leaf also does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
4The wicked are not so,
but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6For Yahweh knows the path of the righteous,
but the path of the wicked will perish.
