1BLESSED is the man who does not walk in the way of the ungodly, nor stays in the counsel of sinners, nor sits in the company of mockers;
2But his delight is in the law of Yahvah, and on his law he meditates day and night.
3And he will be like a tree planted by a stream of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not fall off; and whatever he begins he accomplishes.
4The ungodly are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away. 5Therefore the ungodly will not be justified in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous; 6For Yahvah knows the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly will perish.
