A single broad tree in full leaf beside a running stream in dry country.

Psalms 1

King James (Authorized) Version · 6 verses

  1. 1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.
  2. 2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.
  3. 3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
  4. 4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.
  5. 5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
  6. 6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
