Psalms 1—41
The Two Paths
(Matthew 5:3–12; Luke 6:20–23)
Blessed is the man Psa 26:4-5Pro 4:14-15Pro 13:20Psa 119:1-2Jer 15:17Mat 7:13-14Luk 11:28Psa 1:6
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
or set foot on the path of sinners,
or sit in the seat of mockers.
But his delight is in the Law of the LORD, Jos 1:8Psa 119:92Psa 119:11Rom 7:22Psa 119:97-99Psa 119:15-16Jer 15:16Psa 119:35
and on His law he meditates day and night.
He is like a tree planted by streams of water, Jer 17:8Ezk 47:12Psa 92:14Jhn 15:6Ezk 19:10Gen 39:23Jos 1:7-8Ezk 17:8
yielding its fruit in season,
whose leaf does not wither,
and who prospers in all he does.
Not so the wicked! Job 21:18Mat 3:12Psa 35:5Isa 17:13Hos 13:3Isa 29:5
For they are like chaff driven off by the wind.
Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, Psa 5:5Mat 25:46Mal 3:18Mat 25:41Luk 21:36Mat 25:32Mat 13:49Jud 1:15
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
For the LORD guards the path of the righteous, 2Ti 2:19Jhn 10:14Pro 15:9Nam 1:7Psa 37:18-24Jhn 10:27Pro 14:12Psa 146:9
but the way of the wicked will perish.
