Psalm 1
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

Book I

(Psalms 1–41)

Psalm 1

The Two Ways

1 Happy are those
    who do not follow the advice of the wicked
or take the path that sinners tread
    or sit in the seat of scoffers,(A)
2 but their delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and on his law they meditate day and night.(B)
3 They are like trees
    planted by streams of water,
which yield their fruit in its season,
    and their leaves do not wither.
In all that they do, they prosper.(C)

4 The wicked are not so
    but are like chaff that the wind drives away.(D)
5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment
    nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous,(E)
6 for the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked will perish.(F)
