Variety: Psalm 1

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^[a] 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.
