Psalm 1:1-6 ICB

[1] Happy is the person who doesn't listen to the wicked. He doesn't go where sinners go. He doesn't do what bad people do. [2] He loves the Lord's teachings. He thinks about those teachings day and night. [3] He is strong, like a tree planted by a river. It produces fruit in season. Its leaves don't die. Everything he does will succeed. [4] But wicked people are not like that. They are like useless chaff that the wind blows away. [5] So the wicked will not escape God's punishment. Sinners will not worship God with good people. [6] This is because the Lord protects good people. But the wicked will be destroyed.
