Psalm 1
Literal Standard Version
Chapter overview
Psalm 1 contrasts those rooted in God's instruction with those carried away like chaff. Meditation, wise companionship, and a fruitful life mark the righteous path, while the way of the wicked cannot endure.

1O the blessedness of that one, || Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, || And has not stood in the way of sinners, || And has not sat in the seat of scorners;

4Not so the wicked: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away!
5Therefore the wicked do not rise in judgment, || Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous,
6For YHWH is knowing the way of the righteous, || And the way of the wicked is lost!
