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  O Lord, ^uwho shall sojourn in your ^vtent?

Who shall dwell on your ^wholy hill?

2  He who ^xwalks blamelessly and ^ydoes what is right

and ^zspeaks truth in his heart;

3  who ^adoes not slander with his tongue

and does no evil to his neighbor,

nor ^btakes up a reproach against his friend;

4  ^cin whose eyes a vile person is despised,

but who honors those who fear the Lord;

who ^dswears to his own hurt and does not change;

5  who ^edoes not put out his money at interest

and ^fdoes not take a bribe against the innocent.

He who does these things shall never be ^gmoved.

1  ^{1 h}Praise the Lord!

ⁱBlessed is the man who fears the Lord,

who ^jgreatly delights in his commandments!

2  His ^koffspring will be mighty in the land;

^lthe generation of the upright will be blessed.

3  ^mWealth and riches are in his house,

and his ⁿrighteousness endures forever.

4  Light dawns in the darkness ^ofor the upright;

he is gracious, merciful, and ^prighteous.

5  It is well with the man who ^qdeals generously and lends;

who conducts his affairs with justice.

6  For the righteous will ^rnever be moved;

^she will be remembered forever.

7  He is not ^tafraid of bad news;

his ^uheart is firm, ^vtrusting in the Lord.

8  His heart is steady;² he will not be afraid,

until he looks in triumph on his adversaries.

9  He has ^wdistributed freely; he has given to the poor;

his righteousness endures forever;

his ^xhorn is exalted in honor.

10  The wicked man sees it and is angry;

he ^ygnashes his teeth and ^zmelts away;

^athe desire of the wicked will perish!
