Introduction to PsalmsBOOK I The Two Paths (Matthew 5:3–12; Luke 6:20–23)
1 UEB Blessed is the man who does not walk in the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of mockers. BSB BSB: Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers.
2 UEB But his delight is in the law of Yahweh, and on his law he meditates day and night. BSB BSB: But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, and on His law he meditates day and night.
3 UEB He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not wither; whatever he does will prosper. BSB BSB: He is like a tree planted by streams of water, yielding its fruit in season, whose leaf does not wither, and who prospers in all he does.
4 UEB The wicked are not so, but are instead like the chaff that the wind drives away. BSB BSB: Not so the wicked! For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.
5 UEB So the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. BSB BSB: Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 UEB For Yahweh approves of the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. BSB BSB: For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.
