BLESSED IS THE MAN THAT WALKETH NOT IN THE COUNSEL OF THE UNGODLY, NOR STANDETH IN THE WAY OF SINNERS, NOR SITTETH IN THE SEAT OF THE SCORNFUL.

2 BUT HIS DELIGHT IS IN THE LAW OF THE LORD; AND IN HIS LAW DOTH HE MEDITATE DAY AND NIGHT.

3 AND HE SHALL BE LIKE A TREE PLANTED BY THE RIVERS OF WATER, THAT BRINGETH FORTH HIS FRUIT IN HIS SEASON; HIS LEAF ALSO SHALL NOT WITHER; AND WHATSOEVER HE DOETH SHALL PROSPER.

NEW INTL VERSION (NIV): PS 1:1-3THOUGHT FOR THOUGHT

BLESSED IS THE ONE    WHO DOES NOT WALK IN STEP WITH THE WICKEDOR STAND IN THE WAY THAT SINNERS TAKE    OR SIT IN THE COMPANY OF MOCKERS,2 BUT WHOSE DELIGHT IS IN THE LAW OF THE LORD,    AND WHO MEDITATES ON HIS LAW DAY AND NIGHT.3 THAT PERSON IS LIKE A TREE PLANTED BY STREAMS OF WATER,    WHICH YIELDS ITS FRUIT IN SEASONAND WHOSE LEAF DOES NOT WITHER—    WHATEVER THEY DO PROSPERS.
