Psalm 1

Priestly Wisdom

1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
and in the way of sinners does not stand,
and in the seat of scorners does not sit.
2 But his delight is in the Law of Yahweh,
and in his Law he meditates day and night.
(Josh 1:8)

3 And he shall be like a tree
planted by streams of water,
which brings forth its fruit in its season,
and whose leaf does not wither,
and all that he does prospers.

4 Not so the wicked,
for they are like chaff that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in judgment,
nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
5 For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked shall perish.
(Ps 37:10)
