Psalm 1 Way of the Righteous and End of the Ungodly

Psalm 1:1-6 Way of the Righteous and End of the Ungodly

Psalm 1:1-3
1 Blessed is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the [a]ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2
But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates (ponders by talking to himself) day and night.
3
He shall be like a tree
Planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.

Psalm 1:6
6
For the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

10
Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11
Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

Who have set themselves against me all around.

Your blessing is upon Your people. Selah
