Psalms 1 – True Happiness

Happy are those
Who reject the advice of evil men,
Who do not follow the example of sinners
Or join those who use for God.

Instead, they find joy in obeying
The Law of the Lord,
And they study it day and night.

They are like trees that grow
Beside a stream,
That bear fruit at the right time,
And whose leaves do not dry up.

They succeed in everything they do.

But evil men are not like this at all;
They are like straw that the wind blows away.
Sinners will be condemned by God
And kept apart from God’s own people.
The righteous are guided and protected by the Lord,

But the evil are on the way to their doom.
