The Way of the Righteous
and the End of the Ungodly
1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the
counsel of the ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of
sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of
the scornful;
2 But his delight is in the law of the
LORD,
And in His law he
meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of
water,
That brings forth its
fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not
wither;
And whatever he does
shall prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so,
But are like the
chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the
judgment,
Nor sinners in the
congregation of the righteous.
6 For the LORD knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the
ungodly shall perish.
