1:1
 HAPPY IS the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the scornful. 
1:2
 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night. 
1:3
 And he shall be like a tree planted by streams of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf doth not wither; and in whatsoever he doeth he shall prosper. 
1:4
 Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. 
1:5
 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. 
1:6
 For the Lord regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked shall perish.
