The two paths

(Matthew 5:3-12; Luke 6:20-23)

O the blessedness of that one, || Who has not walked in the counsel of the wicked, || And has not stood in the way of sinners, || And has not sat in the seat of scorners;

But his delight [is] in the Law of YHWH, || And in His law he meditates by day and by night:

And he has been as a tree, || Planted by streams of water, || That gives its fruit in its season, || And its leaf does not wither, || And all that he does he causes to prosper.

Not so the wicked: But [they are] as chaff that wind drives away!

Therefore the wicked do not rise in judgment, || Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous,

For YHWH is knowing the way of the righteous, || And the way of the wicked is lost!

The two paths

(Matthew 5:3-12; Luke 6:20-23)

Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand on the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers;

but his delight is in the LORD’s(a) law. On his law he meditates day and night.

He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that produces its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. Whatever he does shall prosper.

The wicked are not so, but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the LORD knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish.
