Psalms Book 1 (Ch 1-41)
1
Context: Israel [God prevails] separates the mixed multitude after reading Torah scroll. (Neh 13:1-3)
1 Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stand on the path of people who sin ·intentionally miss the mark goal·,
nor sit in the seat of scoffers;
2 but his delight is in Adonai’s Torah ·Teaching·.
On his torot ·teachings· he meditates day and night.
3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water,
that produces its fruit in its season,
whose leaf also does not wither.
Whatever he does shall prosper.
4 The wicked are not so,
but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment,
nor people who sin ·intentionally miss the mark goal· in the congregation of the upright.
6 For Adonai knows the way of the upright,
but the way of the wicked shall perish.
