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,

    it yields its fruit in season, * its leaves never wither; * all 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 judgment hall, * nor sinners in the meeting of the just.

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