Blessed is the one

Blessed is the one

who does not walk in step with the wicked

or stand in the way that sinners take

0r sit in the company of the mockers,

but whose delight is the law of the LORD,

and who mediates on the law day and night.

That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,

Who yields its fruit in season

and whose leaf does not wither –

whatever they do prospers.

Not so the wicked!

They are like chaff

that the wind blows away.

Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgement

nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous,

But the way of the wicked leads to destruction

Psalm 1 :1 – 6 ( NIV)
