## ###### 1 How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers! ###### 2 But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, And in His law he meditates day and night. ###### 3 And he will be like a tree _firmly_ planted by streams of water, Which yields its fruit in its season And its leaf does not wither; And in whatever he does, he prospers. ###### 4 The wicked are not so, But they are like chaff which the wind drives away. ###### 5 Therefore the wicked will not rise in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. ###### 6 For Yahweh knows the way of the righteous, But the way of the wicked will perish.
