1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

² But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

³ And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

⁵ He that putteth not out his money to usury, nor taketh reward against the innocent. He that doeth these things shall never be moved.

⁸ I have set the Lord always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

⁶ And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.

² He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.

¹⁸ If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.

3 My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:

² For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
