BOOK I (PSALMS 1-41)
THE TWO WAYS
1
How happy is the one who does not
walk in the advice of the wicked or stand in the pathway with sinners
or sit in the company of mockers!
Instead, his delight is in the LoRD's instruction,
and he meditates on it day and night.
He is likea tree planted beside flowing streams
that bears its fruit in its season who
and its leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers
4 The wicked are not like this; instead, they are like chaff that the wind blows away.
* Therefore the wicked will not stand up in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to ruin.

and the rulers co

and his Anointedone:
3 "Let's fear off their chains and throw their ropes off of us."
• The erthroned in heaven
laughs;
the Lord ridicules them.
Then he speaks to them in his anger andterrifies them in his wrath:
6 "I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain." I will declare in Lord decree.
He said to me, "You are my son ;") today I have become your Father.
Ask of me,
and 1 will make the nations your inheritance and the ends of the earth our nossession.
