1 Blessed is the one who does not walk within the wicked way
nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit where the scoffers stay.
But he takes delight in following what the LORD's law says is right;
On that law he meditates both in the day and in the night.
2 He will be just like a tree that's planted by the streams that flow;
Yielding fruit within its season, leaves that ever healthy grow.
In all things he does, he prospers; but the wicked are not so;
They are like the useless chaff that's cast away by winds that blow.
3 Thus, the wicked will not stand when comes the final Judgment Day;
Nor will sinners join the gathering of the righteous in the Way,.
For the LORD knows well and watches o'er the way the righteous own;
But the way the wicked choose will perish and be overthrown.
