Tap a verse to highlight it

1 Blessed is the man that doeth not walke in the counsell of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in ye seate of the scornefull:

2 But his delite is in the Lawe of the Lord, and in his Lawe doeth he meditate day and night.

3 For he shall be like a tree planted by the riuers of waters, that will bring foorth her fruite in due season: whose leafe shall not fade: so whatsoeuer he shall doe, shall prosper.

4 The wicked are not so, but as the chaffe, which the winde driueth away.

5 Therefore the wicked shall not stande in the iudgement, nor sinners in the assemblie of the righteous.

6 For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main contrast in Psalms 1?
The psalm contrasts the blessed man, who delights in God's law and is like a tree planted by rivers of water bearing fruit in season (v.1-3), with the ungodly, who are like chaff the wind blows away (v.4).
What does Psalms 1:1 mean by not walking in the counsel of the ungodly?
It opens by blessing the person who avoids the advice of the wicked, the path of sinners, and the company of scoffers (v.1) — read it at Psalms 1:1.
What happens to the ungodly according to Psalms 1?
The psalm says they will not stand in the judgment nor be counted among the righteous, since the LORD knows the way of the righteous while the way of the ungodly perishes (v.5-6), a fate contrasted similarly in Psalms 26:4-5.
