PSALM 1. THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE WICKED CONTRASTED, by                    
First Line: Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of
Last Line: Shall perish.
Variant Title(s): The Tree And The Chaff
Subject(s): Bible - Old Testament


BLESSED is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth

in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate

day and night.
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth
forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he

doeth shall prosper.
The ungodly are not so; but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the
congregation of the righteous.
For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly
shall perish.
