Verse 1
O greatly blessed is the man
Who walketh not astray
In counsel of ungodly men,
Nor stands in sinners' way,
Verse 2
Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair,
But placeth his delight
Upon God's law, and meditates
On His law day and night.
Verse 3
He shall be like a tree that grows
Set by the waterside,
Which in its season yields its fruit,
And green its leaves abide;
Verse 4
And all he does shall prosper well.
The wicked are not so,
But are like chaff which by the wind
Is driven to and fro.
Verse 5
In judgement therefore shall not stand
Such as ungodly are,
Nor in th'assembly of the just
Shall wicked men appear.
Verse 6
Because the way of godly men
Is to Jehovah known;
Whereas the way of wicked men
Shall quite be overthrown.
