1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked,

or stand in the pathway with sinners,

or sit in the assembly of mockers.

2 But his delight is in the law of Yahweh,

and on his law he meditates day and night.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water

that produces its fruit in its season,

whose leaves do not wither;

whatever he does will prosper.

4 The wicked are not so,

but are instead like the chaff that the wind drives away.

5 So the wicked will not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked will perish.
