1901 American Standard Version (ASV)

Psalms 1

1 The happiness of the godly. 4 The unhappiness of the ungodly.

 1:1 ¶ Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:

 1:2 But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.

 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

 1:4 The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

 1:5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

 1:6 For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish.
