PSALM 1

1How happy is the one who does not
walk in the advice of the wicked
or stand in the pathway with sinners
or sit in the company of mockers!
Psalm 1:1 (CSB)

2Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,
and he meditates on it day and night.
Psalm 1:2 (CSB)

3He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams
that bears its fruit in its season,
and its leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
Psalm 1:3 (CSB)

4The wicked are not like this;
instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.
5Therefore the wicked will not stand up in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
Psalm 1:4-5 (CSB)

6For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.
Psalm 1:6 (CSB)

There is a way that seems right to a person,
but its end is the way to death.
Proverbs 14:12 (CSB)

3You observe my travels and my rest;
you are aware of all my ways.
