Book One (Psalms 1–41)

[1] Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand on the path of sinners,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
[2] but his delight is in Yahweh’s§ law.
On his law he meditates day and night.
[3] He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
that produces its fruit in its season,
whose leaf also does not wither.
Whatever he does shall prosper.
[4] The wicked are not so,
but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
[5] Therefore the wicked shall not stand 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 shall perish.

King James Version
[1] Blessed H835 is the man H376 that walketh H1980 not H3808 in the counsel H6098 of the ungodly, H7563§ nor standeth H5975 in the way H1870 of sinners, H2400
Nor sitteth H3427 in the seat H4186 of the scornful. H3887
[2] But his delight H2656 is in the law H8451 of the Lord; H3068
And in his law H8451 doth he meditate H1897 day H3119 and night. H3915
[3] And he shall be like a tree H6086 planted H8362 by the rivers H6388 of water, H4325
That bringeth forth H5414 his fruit H6529 in his season; H6256
His leaf H5929 also shall not wither; H5034§
And whatsoever he doeth H6213 shall prosper. H6743
[4] The ungodly H7563 are not so:
But are like the chaff H4671 which H834 the wind H7307 driveth away. H5086
[5] Therefore the ungodly H7563 shall H6965 not H3808 stand H6965 in the judgment, H4941
Nor sinners H2400 in the congregation H5712 of the righteous. H6662
[6] For H3588 the Lord H3068 knoweth H3045 the way H1870 of the righteous: H6662
But the way H1870 of the ungodly H7563 shall perish. H6
