[English] Psalm 1

Lyrics

1 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand in the way of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

2 but his delight is in Yahweh’s law.
On his law he meditates day and night.

3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
that brings forth its fruit in its season,
whose leaf also does not wither.
Whatever he does shall prosper.

4 The wicked are not so,
but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked shall perish.
