Psalm 1

The Righteous and the Wicked Contrasted.

^{Tools
1}

How blessed is the man who ^(A)does not walk in the ^(B)counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the ^(a)^(C)path of sinners,
Nor ^(D)sit in the seat of scoffers!

^{Tools
2}

But his ^(E)delight is ^(F)in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates ^(G)day and ^(H)night.

^{Tools
3}

He will be like ^(I)a tree firmly planted by ^(b)streams of water,
Which yields its fruit in its season
And its ^(c)leaf does not wither;
And ^(d)in whatever he does, ^(J)he prospers.

^{Tools
4}

The wicked are not so,
But they are like ^(K)chaff which the wind drives away.

^{Tools
5}

Therefore ^(L)the wicked will not stand in the ^(M)judgment,
Nor sinners in ^(N)the assembly of the righteous.

^{Tools
6}

For the Lord ^(e)^(O)knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of ^(P)the wicked will perish.
