Psalms 1

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 1 of 150

1 Happy is the man who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked ones, and has not stood in the way of sinners, and has not sat in the seat of scorners.

2 But his delight is only in the Law of Jehovah, and he meditates in His Law day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivulets of waters, which will give its fruit in its seasons, and its leaf will not wither, and all which he does will prosper.
