Psalm 1

^{Tools
1} How blessed is the one who does not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand in the pathway with sinners, or sit in the assembly of scoffers! ^{Tools
2} Instead he finds pleasure in obeying the Lord's commands; he meditates on his commands day and night. ^{Tools
3} He is like a tree planted by flowing streams; it yields its fruit at the proper time, and its leaves never fall off. He succeeds in everything he attempts.

^{Tools
4} Not so with the wicked! Instead they are like wind-driven chaff. ^{Tools
5} For this reason the wicked cannot withstand judgment, nor can sinners join the assembly of the godly.

^{Tools
6} Certainly the Lord guards the way of the godly, but the way of the wicked ends in destruction.
