Bless be the man who does not walk,
In the counsel of the wicked;
Nor with the sinners who will talk,
With scoffers who are addicted.
For his delight is in the Lord,
As he meditates day and night;
And remaining in one accord,
Because His Law gives him insight.
He is like a tree by a stream,
Water yields its fruit in season;
The leaf not withers its esteem,
Because the Lord is the reason.
The ungodly are more like chaff,
That the wind has driven away;
As the devil on his behalf,
Has caused them in going astray.
The wicked will not stand judgment,
Nor sinners against the righteous;
God will reign in the commencement,
For ensuring proper justice.
Because the Lord does know the way,
Of the righteous what they cherish;
Because they will trust and obey,
But the ungodly will perish.
