Psalm 1                                                                                                     Sunday Readings 1

Happy the man * who has not entered * the council of the wicked,

    nor stood in the assembly of sinners, * nor sat in the session of scoffers.

But the law of Yahweh is his delight; * his law he recites day and night.

    So he shall be like a tree * transplanted near streams of water,

    which yields its fruit in its season, * and whose leaves never wither. * Whatever it produces is good.

Not so the wicked: * rather they are like chaff * that the wind drives along.

    The Supreme Being will not sustain the wicked * in the place of judgment, * nor sinners in the congregation of the just.

 But Yahweh shall safekeep * the assembly of the just, * while the assembly of the wicked shall perish.
