1  Blessed is the man¹

who ^awalks not in ^bthe counsel of the wicked,

nor stands in ^cthe way of sinners,

nor ^dsits in ^ethe seat of ^fscoffers;

2  but his ^gdelight is in the law² of the Lord,

and on his ^hlaw he meditates day and night.

3  He is like ⁱa tree

planted by ^jstreams of water

that yields its fruit in its season,

and its ^kleaf does not wither.

^lIn all that he does, he prospers.

4  The wicked are not so,

but are like ^mchaff that the wind drives away.

5  Therefore the wicked ⁿwill not stand in the judgment,

nor sinners in ^othe congregation of the righteous;

6  for the Lord ^pknows ^qthe way of the righteous,

but the way of the wicked will perish.

1  To you, O Lord, I ^olift up my soul.

2  O my God, in you I ^ptrust;

^qlet me not be put to shame;

^rlet not my enemies exult over me.

3  Indeed, ^snone who wait for you shall be put to shame;

they shall be ashamed who are ^twantonly ^utreacherous.

4  ^vMake me to know your ways, O Lord;

teach me your paths.

5  Lead me in your ^wtruth and teach me,

for you are the God of my salvation;

for you I wait all the day long.

6  Remember your ^xmercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,

^yfor they have been from of old.

7  Remember not ^zthe sins of my youth or my transgressions;

according to your ^asteadfast love remember me,

for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!

8  ^bGood and upright is the Lord;

therefore he ^cinstructs sinners in the way.

9  He leads the humble in what is right,

and teaches the humble his way.

10  All the paths of the Lord are ^dsteadfast love and faithfulness,

for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
