1Happy is the man that has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the scornful.
2But his delight is in the Torah of יהוה ; and in His Torah does he meditate day and night.
3And he shall be like a tree planted by streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, and whose leaf does not wither; and in whatever he does he shall prosper.
4Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the Tzadikim.
6For יהוה knows the way of the Tzadikim; but the way of the wicked shall perish.
אאַשְׁרֵי הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר לֹא הָלַךְ בַּעֲצַת רְשָׁעִים;
וּבְדֶרֶךְ חַטָּאִים לֹא עָמָד וּבְמוֹשַׁב לֵצִים לֹא יָשָׁב.
בכִּי אִם בְּתוֹרַת יהוה חֶפְצוֹ; וּבְתוֹרָתוֹ יֶהְגֶּה יוֹמָם וָלָיְלָה.
גוְהָיָה כְּעֵץ שָׁתוּל עַל פַּלְגֵי מָיִם: אֲשֶׁר פִּרְיוֹ יִתֵּן בְּעִתּוֹ וְעָלֵהוּ לֹא יִבּוֹל; וְכֹל אֲשֶׁר יַעֲשֶׂה יַצְלִיחַ.
דלֹא כֵן הָרְשָׁעִים: כִּי אִם כַּמֹּץ אֲשֶׁר תִּדְּפֶנּוּ רוּחַ.
העַל כֵּן לֹא יָקֻמוּ רְשָׁעִים בַּמִּשְׁפָּט; וְחַטָּאִים בַּעֲדַת צַדִּיקִים.
וכִּי יוֹדֵעַ יהוה דֶּרֶךְ צַדִּיקִים; וְדֶרֶךְ רְשָׁעִים תֹּאבֵד.
