1Blessed is the man who shall not walk in the counsel of the wrong, And shall not stand in the path of sinners, And shall not sit in the seat of scoffers,

2But his delight is in the Torah of יהוה, And he meditates in His Torah day and night.

3For he shall be as a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That yields its fruit in its season, And whose leaf does not wither, And whatever he does prospers.

4The wrong are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind blows away.

5Therefore the wrong shall not rise in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6For יהוה knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wrong comes to naught.
