PSALM 1901

True Happiness

1 Happy those who do not follow the counsel of the wicked,
Nor go the way of sinners, nor sit in company with scoffers.

2 Rather, the law of the LORD is their joy;
God's law they study day and night.

3 They are like a tree planted near streams of water,
that yields its fruit in season;
Its leaves never wither; whatever they do prospers.

4 But not the wicked!
They are like chaff driven by the wind.

5 Therefore the wicked will not survive judgment,
nor will sinners in the assembly of the just.

6 The LORD watches over the way of the just,
but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.
