1
Happy is the man who has not followed the counsel of the wicked, or taken the path of sinners, or joined the company of the insolent;
2
rather, the teaching of the LORD is his delight, and he studies that teaching day and night.
3
He is like a tree planted beside streams of water, which yields its fruit in season, whose foliage never fades, and whatever it produces thrives.
4
Not so the wicked; rather, they are like chaff that wind blows away.
5
Therefore the wicked will not survive judgment, nor will sinners, in the assembly of the righteous.
6
For the LORD cherishes the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked is doomed.
