Psaumes 1

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!

² Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,
and he meditates on it day and night.

³ He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams
that bears its fruit in its season
and whose 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.

⁵ 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.
