Blessednesses of the Righteous

Pacific Press Publishing Association · Mountain View, California · May 12, 1909

(Spurrell’s Translation)

Blessed is that man who followeth not after the counsel of the wicked,

Neither abideth in the way of sinners,

Nor sitteth in the seat of the scorners;

But rather delighteth in Jehovah’s law;

And in His law will he meditate by day and by night.

Surely he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water,

Which shall produce its fruit at the proper season;

Surely his leaf shall not fade;

And whatsoever he will do shall prosper.

It is not thus with the wicked:

Rather like the chaff which shall be scattered by the wind are they.

Therefore the wicked shall not abide in the judgment;

Neither sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

Surely Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous;

But the way of the wicked shall perish.
