Psalms 1-6, New Versions Poem by Ravi Kopra

Blessed is he who
walks not with the wicked
stands not in the sinners way
sits not among mockers

But delights in the law of the Lord
and meditates on it day and night

He is like a tree
planted by the river streams
yielding fruit in the season
his leaves never dry

Not so the wicked!
his leaves like chaff
winds blow away

The wicked will not stand the judgement
the sinners, the assembly of the right

Lord wathces over the righteous
over the wicked, no way!
they themselves destroy.

***

Psalms 1-6
1 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers,2 but whose delight is in the law of the LORD, and who meditates on his law day and night.3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither— whatever they do prospers.4 Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.6 For the LORD watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction.
