Psalm 1:1-6 TLB

[1] Oh, the joys of those who do not follow evil men's advice, who do not hang around with sinners, scoffing at the things of God. [2] But they delight in doing everything God wants them to, and day and night are always meditating on his laws and thinking about ways to follow him more closely. [3] They are like trees along a riverbank bearing luscious fruit each season without fail. Their leaves shall never wither, and all they do shall prosper. [4] But for sinners, what a different story! They blow away like chaff before the wind. [5] They are not safe on Judgment Day; they shall not stand among the godly. [6] For the Lord watches over all the plans and paths of godly men, but the paths of the godless lead to doom.
